Dude no joke, this forum will definitely do that to people...it's like you have to come in here with your fists up every time you post a thread.
And Zachee, as long as you have good spoke tension and your wheels aren't creaking/popping under force and staying true, I'd say you did a pretty damn good job. Any LBS can put a tensiometer on the spokes and check for sure, but most guys will just pluck the spokes or squeeze them together to determine if there's enough tension.
