It should be enough to read the list of options using safe IO, so that 
it is the same when the
form is processed as when it was generated (which I've now done). That 
leaves open the risk that two simultaneous users may add the SAME new 
tool or country to the list, so it gets added twice, but that I can fix 
up when I analyse the results.
