I think if you have something useful to yourself, then its useful to post.
I don't find an immediate need for a phone book program, and I don't have
Donnelly's libraries, but its good to know that once I get the libraries,
I can get your phone book program off of the mail server.

So don't value a program entirely off the immediate response you get to it.
Many people won't be using it for a while yet.  I wonder how much response
the 'Celestial Navigation' author got for his software, yet he continually
puts out updated versions.  I'm sure someone, somewhere, not necessarily
with net access, appreciates his efforts.
