Also, he says that even though his own site uses a very simple CAPTCHA
(the test word is the same, every time), it reduces (his claim)
comment spam on his site
Holy cow! I hadn't any idea just how far folks had to go to protect
themselves! The fact that OCR doesn't help is quite surprising to
me. Good article, thanks.
I'm still getting well over 200 hits a day, and no comment spam after
the two simple plugins. And still don't need CAPTCHA,

If you google this topic, you'll discover people in both the open
source world and the academic world who have successfully developed
systems for defeating captchas.
In fact, an automated captcha-defeat service may exist which offers
its users a 2% success rate. There may be a company here in
