A troll is someone who writes utter nonsense about something they know nothing about, just because they can.

Criticising the posts of others, just because you can, isn't relevant to DG and certainly adds no value to the forum which is why it's against the rules of the forum.
You might want to at least glance at the
Posting Guidelines.
Pay particular attention to the very first guideline. Those rules apply to addon authors the same as they do everyone else. This forum, and even this thread are not a shrine to you, your addons or your ego.
If you have questions as to the rules of the forum, post in the
Feedback Forum and I'm sure a moderator will happily explain any that are too confusing for you.
This is a community driven discussion forum. Discussion encompasses questions, suggestions and criticism. You're free to ignore people who ask questions or make comments if you don't want to provide support for your addons. You however are
not free to insult, flame or troll those who post anyway. If you can't be bothered to answer, it's possible someone else will be gracious enough to do.
If you just want textual fellation from people, you're in the wrong place. The disruption to the community you're causing with your insults and derision to inflate your fragile, over inflated ego far outpace any benefit hosting your your addons here might have.
As for question about exporting Kay_2 had...
There
is a way to export lists in a spreadsheet friendly form from Calibre. It can be simple or difficult, depending on what you're trying to extract.
If you wanted to extract a list of Authors, which is a relatively simple task, you'd use something like [url=http://sqlitebrowser.org/]SQLite Browser[/quote] to do it (my instructions will apply to that program but should be similar in others. Some, such as SQliteAdmin, will even export directly to Excel).
First, make a copy of your metadata.db file from your Calibre library. (Seriously, use a copy!)
Next, open the
copy of metadata.db that you made in SQLite Browser.
Then choose File -> Export -> Table(s) as CSV File.
In the dialog box that brings up, simply click to highlight the "authors" table and click Ok. Then choose a filename and place to save it.
From there, you can use any program that will import CSV files and easily manipulate it to make the beginnings of a CSV file that can then be used in DG or for any other purposes you might find.
Many other things can be exported from the Calibre DB in a similar fashion.
