In my personal experience i use speadsheets for simple sorting, and

I also use a speadsheet as a simple flatform database, sometimes using
multiple (linked) sheets instead of seperate database tables.  I'll bet
this has been discussed by the Gnumeric people before, so if there is not
already one i think i should volunteer to write a tutorial to users
suggesting how to do this and why they probably dont really need a real/ms
proprietary database.

Such a tutorial would be quite useful.  The docs folk would love to
have more task oriented content. 

Wow!  What a nice idea!  Jody, is this even possible?

Regardless, I say "do it".  I don't have the time to do this though.  I
am busy with Ximian and schoolwork.  Finals are right around the corner,
so we all know what this means!  Would someone be able to bugzilla this?
