You should know that CAPTCHAs, as they're called, are controversial,
because (a) they're very unfriendly to the disabled, and (b) they're
actually easy to automate - assuming you can't OCR them yourself, which is
a bad assumption these days, you just put up a porn site, display any
CAPTCHAs your spambots see to the end users, and let THEM figure it out for
you.
