I did it because for some unknown I started getting a lot of spam. I use AKISMET also but it's not perfect. I have found perfectly good comments flagged as possible spam by AKISMET and some missed that went to moderation. Since I started using Captcha I have had one spam comment. I had no intention of using Captcha at first but when it started getting 30 spam comments in a half hour I changed my mind. <abbr><em>John´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.affiliatemoneytips.com/why-buy-a-domain-name-when-using-blogger-or" rel="nofollow">Why Buy A Domain Name When Using Blogger Or</a></abbr></em> Hi Peter -

Exactly right my friend. I've since come to learn though that if you refresh enough times (before writing) you will eventually come up with a clear one. LOL I always get them right too, WHEN I notice them....the itty bitty ones that you pass right by are the ones that get me. Although I have hit some that actually get the math wrong..I think I know what 1+1 is and it tells me no? Ned - Welcome to the community!

"Bots" have no idea between one captcha and another...why turn away legit humans by pissing them off?

Then they erase my comment and I have to start over. Sheesh.

Now with your post I can say I HATE CAPCHAS. Some of them are not meant for humans anyway. You have to second guess what the hell is written. Would you call them alphabets if they were blurred or crossed out or funny shaped. It's an insult to humans to be subjected to this 'are you human' test. Possibly meant for aliens, or Terminator. Peter Lee Oh Dennis,

CAPTCHA is a PITA. There are very few of them that I can read. I'm a much bigger fan of the ones that don't obscure the text at all, but rather ask you to answer a question. Like: "Enter the answer: 1+1" or "Type the word foo" , etc. <abbr><em>bill´s last blog post..<a href="http://billeater.com/money-saving-tips/stories/92/At_risk_of_home_foreclosure___Get_the_right_kind_of_help.html" rel="nofollow">At risk of home foreclosure ?
