	Wondering how they keep getting past Captcha or whatever it is. Takes me usually 2-3 tries most days.

	i get by past it by not signing out. since i live on my own, there's no losers to get into my account and jack with it. i havent had to deal with a captcha for almost a year.
	In the broad spectrum of bad ideas I think this would have to rate somewhere between running with scissors and sticking your pecker in the toaster.

	Unfortunately, due to power spikes in the podunk village I am in, I don't always have a choice. We probably lose power here a couple of times a month at least. And yes I have a UPS. Doesn't change the fact that I amazed so many spambots get past the captcha system. I don't see anywhere near this many on any of the other sites I am on.
