Hi Matt,


While I agree that the list of radio button options should be exhaustive
I am less 
convinced that a default always needs to be set.

Suppose you were building an alumni contribution to athletic fund page
and wanted to 
give the user a choice to earmark their $1 contribution to exactly one
of the following 
programs:

() Basketball
() Football
() Lacrosse

Are any of those programs likely to agree to let one of the others be
the default?

Are any of those programs likely to let you put 'general fund' as a
generic default 
and risk a chance at losing that $1?


Some situations can be more political than technical.
