Actually, MySpace is the only page I've heard that it doesn't work with.
I'm sure there are others that break it but, overall, it works with lots

becomes pretty useless pretty quickly.

Hi, Chris! Do you know if this works with MySpace? Since they started
using captchas as one of their spam tools, I can't keep in touch with some
folks as easily as I once could. Thanks!!
