Oh, I know.  I just think people mis-use spreadsheets.

I have seen too many cases of people using a spreadsheet to store information 
that should have been in a database.

I've had many an invoice -- even from computer shops, who ought to have known 
better -- for 1.00 items.

I have also seen one spreadsheet mis-user adding up a column of figures using 
a calculator and entering the total manually.
