[ If you know of bug reports that still exist in the system that have links to some spammers site, please let me know the numbers and I'll delete them. I tried to delete them all but probably missed some. ]
PLaneT bug reports now should be using recaptcha properly (it took me about 7x longer than predicted, partly because I don't know python or how trac is organized all that well and partly because the word 'recaptcha' has a 't' in it; about 1/2 and 1/2 for those two, um, problems.....) Please let me know if you see any problems. Thanks, Robby PS: Sam, thanks. That makes a lot of sense. Made me go figure out how to expunge the spam reports too!
