Serious WTF? on LJ design

In this thread in [livejournal.com profile] lj_releases, [livejournal.com profile] burr86 alleges:
Problem with a dropdown menu is that it doesn't let you choose multiple groups.

My jaw hit the deck. Now, I've had problems doing just that on LJ, but I always figured it was intended as a feature, not a designer incompetance.

You see, picking multiples in a drop-down list is enabled by this: <select name="test" multiple="yes"> - it's an option in the base html for the drop-down box. No javashitscript required.

Don't believe me? See this tutorial, which is the FIRST result in a Google search on [drop down form].

And when you count general experience in the computer industry... Mine goes back to '65, if I remember correctly.
