Certainly right with your qualification "for many web pages". However,
it isn't just purists who dislike web forms for messages. It's the
people who will write the most -- that is, who will give you the most
extensive feedback -- who are the most inconvenienced by a web form. If
you're sure you don't need this kind of feedback -- that you only need
a limited sort of feedback -- then use the form with my blessing; it
will tell me that I would be wasting my time and yours by sending a
long feedback.
