Totally illegible.
In any case, if you want to "submit a list", you need to name your form
fields using array notation, or at the very least, using object.property
notation, e.g., peopleList.firstName.
Otherwise you just have a bunch of fields named "firstName"--at best you'd
get separate lists of names and numbers.
