But it's better than waiting for an email that ain't a'comin'.

To show my further ignorance, it has been pointed out to me that its "CAPTCHA", not "CATCHA". Of course I still can't read the bloody things, no matter what you call them. It seems to me they were intended to lock out both spambots and anyone over 45yrs of age. Perhaps they are equally disagreeable leeches on the Internet.

I'm 25 and I can't read the damn things. And I have 20/20 vision. So you're not alone.
