I just tried their sample. I'd rather face a CAPTCHA! And their twitter feed reads like spam -- same comments, same apparent author, different avatar. Not a great start if they want to captcha my lists! ;-) Seriously, I can see how it would work if they got the human factors right. Also seriously, do they have an accessible alternative? (No less than three of the people who currently aren't on my list that I wish were on it are somewhere between totally blind and "visually challenged".) And of course nothing visual works if you use a text browser. In general, it's still a stopgap. Requiring a test is offensive to real people. If you want to live only in meatspace (and be untrackable in the virtual world), I guess that's unavoidable. But for the vast majority of people, they just want to have an ID they can use to sign up anywhere, without being treated like the spamming equivalent of HIV. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
