funny, I find Captcha blindly discriminates against humans in general
:-)

I think you need to read up a bit about what censorship is and isn't.
you would be surprised that Akismet and similar tools do smart filtering
of text based on keywords and numbers of links, but definitely not based
on ideas. they also allow you to "save" messages from the dumpsters if
they had a false positive.

well, that judge is completely in your mercy, so it's hardly "third
party", now is it? you can overrule it, change its rules and so on. What
are you on about? next you'll be shouting you are opressed by the
machines and how they are slowly taking over the world!

Stop reading SciFi for a month or two :-)
