that's sort of what i was thinking. my memory fails me -- what did
it *used* to look like? i'm pretty sure they weren't radio boxes
before.

true, but it still requires a little more tech savvy that seems
unnecessary. so, if i might ask (again?), was there a specific
reason for using radio boxes in this context? perhaps there was and i
just haven't seen it. i'm willing to be persuaded that this is the
correct thing to do, i just haven't seen a compelling argument yet.
