To say the least.  Glad you mentioned it, I wanted to but couldn't 
think how to phrase it succinctly and politely.
I can't help but think about the hours on end I spent in college writing 
a simple MUD in BASIC for the Apple ][.  The amount of just coding 
(not to mention the planning that you pointed out) required for a job 
like this is certainly not a volunteer effort.

This is the true joy in life:
- Being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one,
- Being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap,
- And being a -force- of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of 
ailments and grievances - complaining that the wo
rld will not devote itself to making you happy.
