So my problem with the OCR idea is that it inevitably gets to the point where we'd need to programatically solve the same graphics as used in CAPTCHAs, and then I don't think we're really focused on addressing the core issue any longer. It's mostly the same way in non-graphic spams -- catching the text may or may not be difficult with all the obfuscation and such that goes on. However, catching the fact that there's obfuscation is a good indication of spam. Just a thought. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: Capital Punishment means never having to say "YOU AGAIN?"
