blog CAPTCHA

How would you feel if you had graduated in 1976: B.Sc.
majoring in Comptr.Sc. & maths, and weren't too happy
the way blogs had crowded out usenet, and prefer to use lynx
instead of a 'full featured browser', and had to use opera to
handle the CAPTCHA, which clearly shows as "MK75" with
possible spaces, which can't be determined because the chars
are offset and randomly tilted, and you tried:
"75MK", "7 5MK", "75 MK", "7 5 MK",
and the system still gives an error,
after you've spent time composing an important query?

Does the CAPTCHA remain valid for the page on your browser
until it's 'returned/submitted', or is there a time-out?

== TIA.

PS.I suppose you already know that the blog comments
are completely illegible, unless cutNpasted to a separate
file?

I would feel like that blog wasn't worth the effort.

I'd never use the site again. They should have a readable captcha or
not annoy people.

That depends on their script(s).

I don't know what you mean? Anyway, did you have a Linux networking
question?

I was wondering who else noticed that, I just figured the OP wasn't
paying attention to their example, but maybe that is the problem.
