1. I hate captcha
2. There's a much easier way to deal with spam.

You have a div, name it something like "email2". Inside of the div you place a textbox, call it "email2" or something like that. In your CSS you set the properties of that div to hidden, making it invisible to people viewing the site (maybe add a note so that people using text based browsers know what it's there for)

If that textbox gets filled in by something, it is more than likely a robot trying to spam. If not, then it's a normal user. Spam robots are dumb, take advantage of that, instead of having people type more...

Don't know, but I doubt it.

That'll work, just make sure you delete the billion spammers that are already signed up.

Well at LEAST put them on the ban list so that they can't spam again.

Whatever you do, don't throw a wii controller at your monitor in order to hit them!

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
