I thought I mentioned how to do this in my previous post, but I'll spell it
out one last time.

Web Page #1

Have all your options/preferences as checkmarks.

[  x ] I want to know whenever JLo sneezes.
[  x ] Let me know when the war is over
[     ] How the Knicks are doing
[  x ] Did the boss say anything new?

Button

(  ) Set Prefs {Link to Page #2}

See the results.
