Humor, dear boy, humor. It made me larf. Besides, you managed to create enough tension to keep the episode interesting (standing in queue at a DMV-ish nightmare can be interesting?) without resorting to ticking bombs... er... nevermind... without resorting to deep philsophical... er... scratch that... without resorting to mysterious mental... um... ok, it was danged funny.

I think Kurtz resided in his own little cosmos. His breakfast probably says a little more than "Snap, crackle, pop" if you catch my drift.

Fortunately, I use IE. The newer NS recognizes most HTML 4 without a problem, and just about all CSS. The only real problem I have with that is the colored HR's, but I put together a script I used on Viki's page that replaces it for Netscape.

Nonsense. I'm going to give you some advice, something I discovered when I was a young padewan. Take yerself over to Bitbooks (I noticed you signed up for it, good man) and look at some of the Dramas and Serials. You'll wonder why some of these people write at all. They're about as talented as chimps, both in site design and in writing, and I say that in the kindest way possible. Trust me, you'll never get down on your writing again and you're realize that you truly are a capable writer.

If nothing on Bitbooks boosts your ego, there's always
Breathless. And trust me, that one will cheer you up.
