But have you looked at your PieBox lately? Captchas aren't so bad, are they? What's your beef with them? i ask 'cause I really would like to know. I added a "roll your own," of my own design, on my site and it eliminated comment spam instantly, at least 99% (if not 100%). Can't remember the last time I saw one get through.

It's a shame, I thought it perfectly represented the unique pleasures of using OpenOffice.

No actual thought went into this. Someone just said "well if a 5 button mouse was better than a 3 button mouse...then a 35 button mouse MUST be better than a 5 button mouse!
