Just a short second bite at this one. I presume that all this elaborate
verification is to prevent robot software harvesting personal information and
prove there is a human responding at the other end? If that is the case, then
could such software look at that field and get the info and work out the
sequence and reply?
I'm only guessing here, and I really do hope Damon is onto something here, for
a solution is desparately needed to this problem area.
If the BBC, Public interest corporation that its supposed to be cannot, shall
we say, hack it, then what chance someone else will? Mind you, just think of
the hassles we've had over audio voice over as a substitute for subtitles? No,
we won't go there again!sequence?

| Filling in the missing part of a sequence could be a winner, i.e. 3 6 9 15.

| The idea suggested by Mel would be easily operated, whereby we can read

| characters.
|
| Its obvious that solutions are out there, but graphical verification is the
| darling of the security conscious at the moment, God knows what it'll take
| to change their minds on this one!
|
| It is good though to see Auntie Beeb looking into alternatives.
