Thanks for the link, it looks very informative.

In my case, i do actually use Lynx quite a bit and saw the first
button selected as suggested by the HTML standard I was looking at.
And just like you describe in your article, I don't want to "color"
the answer by having an answer preselected, nor do I want the user
to accidentally fail to click on it, and guess they wanted the first
choice.
Ideally, i also don't want to present an extra (neutral) choice either
because it will look messy.
But I'm probably being a spaz anyway, since I'm probably the last
Lynx user (and of course that's only when I know i can count on it --
like *content* oriented sites). With Firefox it worked fine.
Thanks!
