That's as may be, but bozo is not trying to improve handicapped
accessibility, he's trying to write a spambot.
Please don't use the accessibility concerns surrounding captcha to
justify writing spambot software. It doesn't help the accessibility
argument to be seen to be pro spambot, in fact if anything it may damage
it. I agree that there are more reasons not to use captcha these days
than there are to use them, however I still don't advocate helping spambot
bastards defeat them.
