You have excelled in all areas of Web development, and your website meets the highest standards of design, navigation and content. Thank you for all your efforts and for your wonderful contribution to the Internet."

From Míc: "Thank you very much, Don, for this recognition and your kind words! And I especially thank all those who have bee-stowed their awards upon The Beeline. For without them, this milestone could not have been reached. To those reading this, I highly recommend Website Awards -- one of the world's foremost resources on Web awards."
