[snip of explanation of the lack of effectiveness and annoyance of capchas] Thank you. I've always disliked the things. Now I know that there is actually good reason to. I suspect that with a Confirm subscription policy (which is the minimum anyone should run) there really isn't too much to worry about in that we can always end up requiring approval for subscriptions (or moderate) associated with domains that show a history of allowing spammers to send subscription requests.
