Definitely. Downside: it requires some comprehension of what the numbers
mean. It'd be nice to have decent auto-calculated day, week, and month
pre-made options.

*grin* Very difficult to implement, I see.

Actually, it'd be cool if it could auto-calculate a reasonable threshold for
a given period. That may not prove to be necessary though.
