ISTM you need one only question requiring human attention at a time, because once a spammer assigns a human (or inhuman of equivalent intelligence) to cracking you, you're toast. I can't believe this is still profitable. It's either lucrative or fulfilling, and malice, if the latter.
At any rate, it is hardly such an urgent problem that it needs all this brainpower poured into it. And it almost certainly doesn't require novel solutions.
Possibly so, but I can't see c.l.p.dev passing up the chance to discuss this particular bicycle shed. It gets kind of personal when someone is spamming *your* tracker ... ;-) I have already been criticized on c.l.py for suggesting there should be at least one day of the year when we should be allowed to hang spammers up by the nuts (assuming they have any) - "not very welcoming" was the phrase, IIRC. So maybe I'm no longer rational on this topic. or-any-other-for-that-matter-ly y'rs - steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden ------------------ Asciimercial --------------------- Get on the web: Blog, lens and tag your way to fame!! holdenweb.blogspot.com squidoo.com/pythonology tagged items: del.icio.us/steve.holden/python All these services currently offer free registration! -------------- Thank You for Reading ----------------
