Christian,
I am blind and an experienced Windows user. I was able to add 2 comments to
my issue tracking issue despite the CAPCHA. However, it was quite difficult.
Their audio challenge is very difficult and I have good hearing. It took me
3 or 4 tries on the first comment and I think 2 on the second. I am assuming
this would be impossible for John. Therefore, I feel CAPCHA is the worst
evil.
On another note, GW Micro has a bug tracker for beta testers that uses a
standard form and there is never any spam. They must weed it out somehow. I
don't know if someone would speak to Aaron Smith at GW if he could tell how
they do that or not.
Best regards from Ohio,
Vic

Captchas are a way to avoid spam. If you have a web form that accepts
bug reports without any registration or captcha you are inviting spam.
The Debian project bug tracker allows for bug submission without
registration and also via email. AFAIK it contains quite a bit of spam
which has to be cleaned out manually.
We just have to decide which one is the lesser evil: spam or captcha.
Thanks
Christian
