Autocrat is Easy & Independent Studies Show It's More Satisfying than a Clean House

I'm just going to go ahead and admit that I'm kind of in love with Autocrat. I've set up two form/spreadsheet combos this week to send the results of forms to Google groups, and I felt satisfied like I had just finished cleaning the whole house, which completely offset the fact that I actually have not cleaned the whole house. You just gotta try it out to see how good it feels. Thanks YouPD for creating such an amazing script that anyone can use!
