To bring this back on topic a bit for alt.html:

I use a job website at jobserve.co.uk Some agencies post their email
address here, others use a "fill in the web form to reply" approach.
After you've gone throguh the web form there's a set of four radio
buttons in a vertical column, offering options from "Just tell me about
the job" to "Spam the crap out of me forever". The adjoining column
contains four paragraphs of explanatory caption for each choice.

However owing to some poor HTML coding, the captions aren't aligned
vertically with the radio buttons. Use a small text size and they
shrink, so that the 4th caption (no spam today) is alongside the 3rd
button (yum, I like spam).

Incidentally, the agencies don't actually follow these requests - but
what else can you expect?
