You followed the cardinal rule of web-design: have your content first,
before your form.  But then you added very nice form. And then you
were modest about the result.  Perfectionist, in my book: turning out
high-quality goods, but worrying the entire time that they're not
quite up to snuff.

That's all I drink in my Coke glasses as well.  Coke has always had
the awesome hardware (the textured Coke glasses are my favorite),
Pepsi is the better software (IMHO, of course). <g>
