Shit dude, 168 scales. I need a lie down...... :-S
Even if I learnt them all, I'd still pick the wrong one for soloing......... (

It's all very well knowing this stuff, the trick is knowing how and when to use it.
Calm down dear, technically there are only 5 as everything else is relative.
There is sometimes an overawed and over complex attitude taken to the modal system, which puts a lot of people off. It fundamentally more important to understand where the relative notes are on your fretboard. It is what you are playing over, not the notes you play that determine the 'mode' (or mood) and the key is to learn to exploit and highlight this.
C Ionian, D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian & B Locrian are all the same scale, it's the emphasis and relativity of the notes that change in relation to the chordal bed.
Good work though Viz, I think it's a great exercise to see what is going on in each various scale.
As soon as I work out how to record myself on my pewter I'm going to try to write some interesting little choons on some of the lesser known scales. And Mr RHC is correct, for each scale, its 6 modal variations are using the same notes, just with different starting points in the cycle.
Even so, there are still 24 different scales to choose from though, so get writing everybody

Some of the best jazz players I know couldn't tell you a single mode....
