Thanks Jaffa, useful reply.

1) i will try to do so

2) Ahhh fair enough - would still be useful though Tis a mini-pain having to filter past the mods/extras/packs etc...

3) I care And i'm a user - might be the only one though - There are times when a widget would be useful compared to a full app - just think it'll be easier to separate them into categories instead of throwing them all together
