Thats exactly the way I've been discovering Org's feature set. I've been using Org full time for almost two years now, and every time I've started to push a limit, I go back to the manual and find out it's already there! First agendas, then tables, exporting, properties (ok, so it was coded after my request), clocking time... Its a great tool, keep up the good work!
