Just to set the record straight, Ed, google up this:

..and read away. CAPTCHAs are no longer secure, and haven't been for a
couple of years. (Besides, they are annoying to humans.<g>  )


Thanks for the suggestion. I stand corrected. One interesting thing in the Wikipedia article I read was the success rate crackers have had cracking image captchas so far are less than 100%. Some are only at 30% or so.

It's very obvious Phillip knows not of what he speaks, and he should
stop spreading FUD. I know that, without DreamWeaver, Phillip would not
even be able to *have* a web site online.


Yes, well, Phillip is a nice fellow but he can sometimes "shoot from the hip". :-)

If the odds are a million to one against something occurring, chances are 50-50 it will.
