Regarding technicalities, forms will consume more resources so they are not
the ideal way of handling this task. Certain borwsers/devices(platforms)
might not support them either, so it is a loss.
When I first entered the site I did not realise it was implemented using
forms. I actually had my mind focused on something else so don't worry
about "view source". Since you don't deliver 'techie' news here (and
considering the nature of the site), it will probably have 90%+ IE6 users.
So, I wouldn't worry.
