@Syd: the reCapchas are meant to also help teach computer OCR to read better, because some of the sample text they give is from historical documents being digitized that OCR cannot comprehend for whatever reason.

@Syd: Captchas are bull-pucky. There's always one that no one can read, one that isn't (or doesn't seem like) a word, or one that's both.

@Ed: Some capchas are in dead European languages or use outdated spellings a few centuries outdated.

There are some that are infuriatingly ambiguous. Is that a capital I or a small letter L? An "m" or an "rn"?

You had your chance at the cotillion, you!

I could do some color manips and other basic effects in GIMP if you'd like.

That would be great. I have GIMP, but I'm strictly an amateur. Thank you.

@Kyler: I blame degraded prints that are ambiguous. I can only imagine how much frustration Twi gets when reading older prints that have smudged or misprinted words.

@Syd: They keep out the less-advanced spambots so they aren't all that bad.

@ Ace: They're a necessary evil in today's world, I guess. There's nothing like the "pleasure" of clicking on some forum link, and getting hit with graphic pics of oral sex.
