At least that's what I'm also thinking that a randomly generated, one time password rendered in an image would be sufficient to foil spambots and still allow anonymous posting. The downside is: it requires graphics library with PHP. I think it would be possible, though, to create a small library that takes a word and renders it as ascii art, which would make it readable to humans only (like the 'figlet' tool): _ _ ___ _ __ ___| |_(_)_ __ ___ ___ / _ \| '_ \ / _ \ __| | '_ ` _ \ / _ \ | (_) | | | | __/ |_| | | | | | | __/ \___/|_| |_|\___|\__|_|_| |_| |_|\___| ~swain ---- http://www.panix.com/~swain/ "It has all the faults of a photograph." -- David Hockney ---- |
