> I would rather prefer a system like the one at > Gmane, with the email encoded as a curious image. I'm unsure about this, as these captcha pictures violate section 508 - barrier free accessibility. (Don't know whether the equivalent EU decree is on the way or already passed.) Which makes it nearly impossible then to integrate COREBlog in an environment where this is an issue. And I'm not sure, whether the Gmame solution with using a hashed email-address with an acknowledgment will really solve that matter, plus imho it is an obstruction that may prevent posters due to its fussiness. To the second I read about several methods to break computer generated captchas, so these things will only help as long as the other side didn't take it further. One example: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~mori/gimpy/gimpy.html Human generated captchas - what is the opposite of "cold", what colour has the block on the left - are harder, but these quiz- or puzzle captchas irritate sometimes "normal" users and perhaps might even generate a new job description - SPAM bot trainer. And if there are only a few variants, such a trained bot could still break its way through. Considering this, and that the uniqueness of the blogosphere is the linking in between, I don't think that there is a real need for a private messaging within a blog-system. As then we could use any arbitrary forum-software. If somebody leaves its email, it should be visible for the blog-owner, as most of the times the comment corresponds to a blog entry. And there is still the option, that someone can leave his email address in the comment itself.
