That's because reCAPTCHA is nothing to do with spam and everything to do with character and voice recognition, which some software can do better than some humans. reCaptcha should never be used, unless what it protects is only for the able-bodied. Aside: is the server open source? recaptcha.net doesn't have an obvious link. Regards, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op.
