Please make sure the captcha does not rely solely on
image recognition -- not only because those have been
mostly cracked, unless you write a custom one or use
one of Neville Brody's experimental fonts :-) but also
because of accessibility, e.g. for people with poor vision,
astigmatism, differing colour perception etc.

A simple arithmetic test, 1 + 3 = [___] seems to be
sufficient in most cases, for example.

Thanks :)
