These articles talk about the reason for word verifiers and a possible beneficial use of the time spent using the word verifier to digitize books or newspapers by harvesting the brain power spent instead of it just going to thwart the smammers.<br /><br />But I don't mind a few extra seconds of typing when it's a fraction of the time and effort spent in sharing my thoughts... and usually it's too small a fraction, so much so that Tonya has suggested I start my own blog and not hijack her comments area for that purpose. :)<br /><br />Hope you enjoy reading the articles. :)<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recaptcha<br />(There's a link to the CAPTCHA article on the first line of this one. :) )Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468423974821282524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-56414535373663204672011-02-23T12:06:52.058-07:002011-02-23T12:06:52.058-07:00"Go ahead and leave off that many letters fro..."Go ahead and leave off that many letters from your comment?"
