Woot woot!
I think being safe is sometimes better than being sorry. If I only have learned one thing from my internet travels is the fact that there are some unthinkable petty people on it...
I appreciate, and condone, the need for security, and I don't have a better suggestion, but isn't that captcha routine used by Google to train it's AI?
I'm a slow poster, and probably will have the restriction for quite a while, but I have no problem with it. IMO, people need to learn 'patience is a virtue' again, and to come to grips with the fact that most things in life have to be earned.
woot \o/
