The only way that the module would be useful, would be for instance, like here in the forum where there is some interactivity (such as knowing who's online) and being able to communicate to that user.

The underhanded way of looking at it is, as I mentioned earlier, is that I could cook the figures. There would be no difference if it were accurate or not.

I disagree with you 100%. I think a good analogy to use, would be as follows:

You are walking down a street that is completely empty, no one around, its called anonymous street. Then you turn the corner, and there is 50 or 60 people gathered around a store front. You instinctively, want to find out what is going on there, and what people are up to.

With regards to cooking the figures, you can do that with any of the mods, bestsellers, customer also bought. X-cart even has a built in "cooking the books" by selecting customers also bought randomly from the selection of products. My point, is that many modifications can be altered to give false information.

I think this mod would be useful, even if only by a little bit. Obviously you dont, that is fine. We will agree to disagree.
