I must be some kind of super-idiot because I don't even know what a CAPTCHA is.

CAPTCHA = Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart.

a bot can certainly be programmed to read these things, but whether one has been programmed and whether its been circulated yet i dont know.

Correction, he is a rather bright person and you are the moron. He is correct bots can be programed to read this. However, very few people know how to do that.

You are wrong. Research it. Current CAPTCHA's are not readable.

Are you his relative.

Really? None of them are readable?. Of course, some currently in use haven't been broken yet, but saying that makes them unreadable makes it obvious you have no idea what you're talking about.

I liked this approach to beating them (from Wikipedia's article on captchas):[ QUOTE ]
Some free e-mail providers have used captchas in account registration, to deter spammers from obtaining large numbers of accounts automatically. Spammers have found a way to circumvent this restriction: simply present the captcha to a human user under false pretenses, and use the human's response to obtain the e-mail account.

To do this, the spammer must control a Web site to which human users wish to gain access — for instance, a pornography site. When a user goes to the spammer's porn site, the server starts a new account registration at the free e-mail provider. It downloads the provider's captcha and presents it to the user as a captcha for access to the porn site. The user, not knowing that the captcha is recycled, provides the correct response — and the spammer's software can then complete the e-mail account registration.

My point is that there are implementations of CAPTCHA's who cannot be defeated thus they would be fine for defeating bots. Therefore, the paranoid idiots came up empty on their flush draw.

Regardless, I don't play limit and that is where the bots are invading--not NL.
