I don't get what exactly you are talking about as a reply to my comment, what exercise exactly? Deciding if something is worth spending time if you're having fun with it?

Sure, if you're having fun (and in fun I include a sense of accomplishment, curiosity, whatever tickles you) with that, go for it.

It's a strangely arrogant reply to my comment, perhaps you read something into it that I didn't say and replied to that?
