Time is time, all I have to do is look at the number of posts about it to tell
that some time was spent on it, by you, by me, by others, regardless of how
much time was development time vs playing with it time vs loading up its DB.
I won't presume to estimate exactly how much time was spent but I doubt it was
less than a man day all told.

Useless was a bit harsh, sorry... let's just call it less useful than quite a
few other things, and more useful than a few other things. And clearly you
enjoyed doing it and enjoyed that other people enjoyed playing with it. Nothing
wrong with geeking out on low priority things, after all. For if that were so,
all of us would be better served doing our real work 100% of the time instead
of enjoying our hobby, eh?
