    Ditto. I finally Googled it (correctly spelled "captcha") when the
    thread wouldn't die.


    The question is *why*? What on earth is he using that requires a
    captcha?

    I saw a thing on a Nova or similar program where this computer guy was
    talking about how they (he, his company, etc.) was taking words which
    OCR in scanning texts could not correctly digitize and using them as
    part of the CAPTCHA challenge. So when enough people said that the
    CAPTCHA word was what they said it was, then that mis-scanned word was
    then known. Kinda like free labor!

    If he's using Google Groups, the first few times you post they make
    you decipher and enter a "captcha". Then after that you can just post
    without going through that.

    I know what a Captcha is and have used them several times to register
    for web sites. They are there, supposedly, to keep "bots" from signing
    up. I haven't the faintest idea of what John is talking about, either.

    Thanks. That was clear as mud. Anyone who already knew what a captcha
    was might possibly understand that. As they say, a picture is worth a
    thousand words, even though a typical captcha only has two words:

    Those two word "Tell me what this says" things, one word they know and
    the other is a scanned word that the scanner could not positively
    match so they are letting a number of people see the mis-scanned word
    to come to consensus on what it says.
