I do not like those verify boxes!
I must say, I do not like those boxes where I have to verify to keep spam away. I especially do not like them when I have to try 5 times to get it right as it is just not worth the frustration to make my warm fuzzie-post.
Then there are some that make me do math and put the result in the box. Good thing my fingers still work well as my calculator. Who wants to think when they are relaxing on the internet on a Saturday morning away from work.
I also do not like it when a comment is to be approved and I miss the sentence saying it is that way (because I close the box too fast) and wonder if I closed the box before I did the verify or not as I cannot see my message yet.
Now, this has happened to me several times before and I could not resist capturing this screenprint and sharing the irony. Look, the verify box spammed me! I had to type in an interesting word just to be able to post! I've had more interesting words than "sex u 5 g"uys, I will have to watch for them and share again.
Tootle-oot today!

Hear hear! Yesterday I tried to register for a forum and the system kept telling me the code was wrong. 5 times! Needless to say, I gave up. Honestly, if I wanted to do spam, I would type in the thing and be done with it! Thanks for mentioning that! Love your blog!
Have a great weekend!
I hate those stupid things! Especially when half the time you can't even read the letters you are supposed to be typing in the box.
I posted about this early in the week. I'm with ya!!! Down with word verification. If ya get spam, just delete it people! In my three years of blogging I've only had one spam message...it went to the trashcan. Not such a big deal.
LOL!
Yeah, I dislike those boxes too.
What I really hate is those places that want you to join before they let you comment.
No.
I'm adding you to my Technorati favs as a part of the Favorites Exchange. :-)
I use comment moderation instead - better for the owner of a given blog to sift through comment spam than to force visitors to jump through hoops for the privilege of leaving a comment. It's utterly ridiculous.
BTW, I followed your link home from Roxanne's (SRP/Melange) site, and I look forward to reading more. I hope you'll pop by my site and say hi as well.
All the best,
