Spammers are an evil breed

So...the net parasites, otherwise known as spammers, have managed to creep into my blog page. Damn them! Damn them all to hell!!!
What's that you said? Cursing them won't help? Oh well, it's a good thing Blogger.com has added CAPTCHAs to their commenting facility. +1

On a side--but somewhat related--note...Gav has recently forwarded to me a link to a CAPTCHA decoder page that claims to being able to defeat many CAPTCHA implementations. We might be able to use similar techniques to improve the screen scraping facility in AppConnector. Too bad, though...No sample code is available yet.
