I recommended it. Where else would a script I wrote get usage recommendations? It blows my mind that you would even ask such a question.
Also, just because you don't see the use in the feature, doesn't mean there is no use. I guess you've never used Trillain or Yahoo. This feature is becoming more and more commonplace. I think aic simply felt it was time mIRC incorporated it, too.
Also, in response to aic's second post, you bring up a good point about log files spanning multiple days. The snippet above does not have this feature. (Not with dated log files, anyway.) That sounds like a good time-killing venture.
