Boy that would make me feel good!

See, most of the messages about a module are either bug reports (extremely rare ;--), improvement requests, help needed or plain "I have no idea how to do this so I'll just grab a somehow related module and bug the author to Death until they write the code for me" (hopefully rare!). So getting "thank you" and also a little description of what users do with a module makes you feel that after all it is not too bugged, lacking in features, that the documentation does not suck and that after all some of those users know what they are doing ;--)

Seriously a module is a tool and at least for me there is no better reason to write a tool than to see people use it to write stuff I can't even think of.

Plus having an idea of how people use it gives me a chance to figure out which features should be absolutely, completely, irrevocably stable and which ones can still evolve without breaking too much code around (provided there is a real strong reason to do so of course).

Of course I guess Lincoln Stein might have a different view...
