Of course it's a personal project, why undermine it, let the person do it's thing.

Sure, people can do whatever they want, and this project seems mostly harmless (I can also see forced data collection/publication on individuals having negative consequences for some people). I collect crossword data myself. But I don't go around patting myself on the back for my philanthropic efforts and non-profit status. I mean come on.

I don't think I was patting myself on the back but you're definitely spanking.
