It could have been much worse. The designer of the form could just as 
well have used MS-specific coding that would have made it impossible to 
use any browser other than IE, thus insuring that only Windows users 
could be accepted into the post-graduate program while Linus users 
(members of a lower caste) would be excluded. Count your blessings.

The reason nobody replied to you is that they think you are a crank or 
madman.
