Well, I've been doing advanced web design since I was about 16 years old, which makes it about a decade, but I'm one of those sorts that doesn't think that tons of effort should go into the pleasure of reading. I also understand that perfection can only come through effort.

Now that I figured out that problem, I came across another one, and hopefully I can manage to trudge through that one as well!
