I don't care, frankly. I'm still not going to help anyone to break CAPTCHAs automatically. If you're unable to solve CAPTCHAs, it's equivalent to being unable to run VBScript or unable to download music over a proprietary streaming protocol: it's a problem to be solved by getting the server admin to change policy, *not* by trying to script around it. Scripting around the problem just forces everyone to make it harder to script around the problem. You're joining the arms race, and on the wrong side. Breaking CAPTCHAs is *not* good for any issue.
