Yes, LMS has 3 forms, and all of them use GET. In fact, no other method is used in LMS (this way I need not to think about yet another thing: the choice of the method). And yes, I think that POST, if not other methods, could be used at least in 2 forms, the removal and the modification-addition ones. I'm not sure yet if it would be best. Issue 1 is about it (https://github.com/decision-making-mike/lms/issues/1). So far I haven't been treating it a priority.

But I don't know if this is related to the data remanence. I'll try to change GET to POST at least in the modification-addition form, but it rather won't be a simple replacement.
