using a Captcha does the same thing as using a username and password
without the need for such and until Google bought the leading captcha
software developer, It was as secure as having a user name and password.
No it does not. You cannot "log in" to a sight with just a captcha
routine but you CAN login w/o it by entering your user/pass. All captcha
is, is a challenge-response mechanism to insure that computer generated
access is not automatic via a script, etc.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA
Okay then Captcha is not the way to go. I'll have to investigate adding
Username/Password control.
Investigate what your hosting company provides regarding protected pages.
