Sigh: Nikon's Glitchy D800 Owner Survey

Nikon today sent me (and many others) a survey to fill out about our D800 experience. At the first "Other" text entry I got (in case anyone from Nikon is reading this: Firefox, current version):

This wasn't the only problem I had. Some questions repeated themselves more than three times; if I tried to navigate backwards to correct something my answers were lost and sometimes the survey itself would get lost; some questions were mislabeled ("We would like to ask you about the viewfinder" when the actual table presented to fill in was about flash units); the list of problems I encountered goes on. I gave up after (I think) completing 30% of the survey. Here's another problem:

Good thing I have a 30" monitor. But if you can't see the problem, let me describe it: the top is an illustration directly from the user manual with parts labeled only with numbers. The bottom is a list of those part names, but without the numbers. I hope you know which number goes with which part name ;~).

Hey, I just tried you,
And this is crazy.
I made my responses,
Some data, maybe?
