RE:Captcha
or
Why do I have to type two hard to read words when I’m leaving a comment?
We use the Captcha program on our site to help gaurentee that a person and not a computer is leaving a comment. You may have used something like this before. Captch asks you to type two words that are displayed as images which a computer can not read. This program helps eliminate auto-generated spam. The idea is that only a living, breathing person can read the words and retype those letters into the box. With Captucha, when you enter those words, you’re validating your humanity, and you’re also helping to digitize books – one word at a time. [Read more about Captcha]
