1) What you said you wanted in the first message didn't match what you 
said you wanted in the next message.
2) What you said you wanted in the first message sounded like a very 
generic date/calendar browsing interface.
3) What you said in the followup message is a very specific date 
browsing interface that has no flexibility and is, in fact, useful only 
for a particular class of sites. For that class of sites, it's great. 
For the rest of them, it's useless.
4) 'Overkill' is antagonistic, especially since I was responding to #2, 
not #3.

Maybe Hungary is different than the rest of the world, but saying "I 
want X" and when someone helpfully responds, you say "No, don't give me 
your "multimodule, multipage overkill" solution, I want "something that 
isn't, in fact, X"" is both a bash both to the person helping and the 
modules involved.

Finally: "People need to understand that 
views+cck+workflows+event+holymodule are very nice and powerful, but are 
not universal solutions"

Thank you for correcting my understanding of my own module. Surely I had 
no clue that views isn't for every site.

By the same token, people need to understand that 20 different versions 
of relatively narrow application modules *also* aren't good solutions 
either, and an archive module with no ability to exclude irrelevant 
content from the archive one instance of the too narrow solution.
