One must not disrespect the Botfather....

Where can I get this software? CAPTCHA is a right toad in the hoop for many with infirmities like my own.

Hmmmm....

Is Brian Peacock human?

Does it matter?

I say no!

Bot, advanced alien intelligence or demonic sprite, ye are welcome here!

Processing your puny human concern tickles my logic circuit.

Meh. This happens every few months - so they upgrade captcha - so the bots get cleverer - so they upgrade captcha - so the bots... etc etc etc

There's a way of beating any human readable CAPTCHA that's been in use for at least a couple of years.

If a spammer wants to get loads of Yahoo email accounts created, he creates a free porn site and makes users type in Yahoo's CAPTCHA to get access to the porn.

Or they employ rooms full of Africans or Chinese that manually sign up then let the bots loose after.

Where there is a tiny chance of making money for a far tinier outlay - spammers will find a way...
