not being a very active wikipedia user, i nevertheless seem to remember that they use captchas (yes indeed) for verification if (and only if- i think) you are adding URLs to a page. this makes spamming sites much less attractive. i know that you are opposed to captchas, but i still think it is a good compromise between not having to create accounts and a reasonable protection against spam. fgmadsr IOhannes _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
