I HATE CAPTCHA!!!

CAPTCHA:  those eye straining fuzzy words that Google has recently inflicted on all blogger spots (whether you, the blogger want them or not) so that commenters can "prove" they're not a  spam-bot.  Not only does CAPTCHA not work but google already screens comments for spam so CAPTCHA jusy annoys your blog's followers.  You can read more here:

The steps required to disable CAPTCHA are a little different, depending on whether you use the new or old blogger interface but not difficult.  I've disabled CAPTCHA on both of my blogs and if I can do it, anybody can do it.  Since throwing CAPTCHA overboard I have yet to receive a single bit of spam.

As a blogger you will not be aware of CAPTCHA when replying to comments--but your readers will!  I personally give up on a comment if I can't quickly get CAPTCHA correctly entered on the first attempt.

So, that's my rant of the day.  Sorry for the lack of skating relevance--but I REALLY DO HATE IT!

CAPTCHA is so hated that it's getting ink in the intellectual section of the Wash Post.  What more to say?
