Hi again H., yes, not a pretty picture at all. However, in this case I 
have all the email addresses of the 4 people who will be submitting the 
form and there are no real security issues as the responses are simply 
Yes/No responses to questions on an agenda they will have in their 
possession and which they are being asked to affirm or not by clicking 
on a for or against radio button. No other data will be in the form 
apart from the Agenda Item No.

Thanks for pointing the ugly side out to me.
