Hi Bonnie,
Here is - hopefully a humorous - reply to your paper form example. Imagine that on the paper forms they would have a check box and the word "Male" and nothing else. So if you don't check it, you are a Female, pretty obvious. But imagine how many questions or raised eye brows this would generate :).
>Wow, I can't believe that there's no one else (other than me and Naomi) who thinks this is a bad design and counter-intuitive!!! Well, no one else who's replied anyway.

>Think about it this way guys ... paper forms with checkboxes. Users know how to use checkboxes on a paper form! Why would an electronic version of that be any different?
