The only thing that could improve this would be an automated form that lets you insert different people's names into it

Via HNN, like so many other posts:

I really enjoyed that essay by Paul Graham. Paul Graham is an excellent writer and a very nice fellow. But when he said that thing that made me look bad, I just had to draw the line. For years, I’ve been doing something and telling people I’m doing it and then all of a sudden Paul Graham comes along and tells me it’s a bad idea. I think it’s time to question his assumptions.

Yeah. So why is putting up a form so hard? Answer: it really isn't, except you always have to look things up again. That's the background logistics that a smooth system would relieve you (read: me) of.
