Most spamming is automated.

Now I am told that BOTS or automated programs that can be used for spamming have difficulty getting through CAPTCHA

A spambot is an internet bot (as in ROBOT) that attempts to spam large amounts of content on the Internet, usually adding advertising links.

Here is some free CAPTCHA

I am still thinking

Say....is Hammer a Spammer Here I go again off the deep end

I just turn CAPTCHA back on again.

Thanks!
