Surprisingly, I’ve been seeing a relatively large amount of spam originating from advertising bots, some of which I may have unwittingly accepted as valid comments.

I just finished installing WorldPress’ captcha plugin. Captcha provides that annoying numeric field that pops up during data entry to prove that you are not a robot. Apologies ahead of time, but you will now have to verify that you are not a webBot by entering that annoying alpha-numeric field if you want to post on the blog or contact me.

At some point webBots will be able to recognize and enter the captcha field and “spam wars” will escalate with an “even better” captcha, but until then ….
