Do you have a URL? "List menu" can mean different things.

Maybe, maybe not. Have you set it to be the default?

It depends on what you mean by "are left". You cannot distinguish the
situation where the user intentionally selects "0" from his skipping the
entire question, if "0" is indeed the default (preselected, initial) value.

Well, it's up to the form handler to do such things. It can ignore the value
of "0", or the value of "42".

> As it it is right now, the form results

It's impossible to others to see what you are really doing and trying to
accomplish, since you did not post a URL.
