This is a Usenet newsgroup, not a chat room.  Pseudonyms are not "cool" 
here, but ridiculous.  I could ignore *you* for this impoliteness, and 
recommend to others to ignore you, but you do not want that to happen.
So here is your last chance to avoid it.

As a user, after I have checked the checkbox, I want to be able to submit it 
using any means.  Otherwise this form would look broken to me.

If the user had been aware that they could use the Tab key, they would not 
have, before you prevented it, accidentally submitted the form using the 
Return key, would they?

Yes.

Don’t be obtuse.  Oh, wait.

Score adjusted.
