should I install the wavy letter thingie?

I see Jason is back.

Should I go ahead and install the wavy-letter-thingie that prevents spam?

I hate to do it because of the FWOT aspect, but I think we're at that point.

Speaking of the wavy-letter-thingie, Jeff Hawkins' book explains why it works.

    I think it would be a good idea. I don't mind. It doesn't add much time to posting.

    The thingie doesn't have to be a permanent feature. Sometimes spammers go away when the barrier is in place. Then you can remove it again.

    I am curious about the type face KTM uses. It's easy on the eye and I like it.

    The typeface appears to be Verdana, which is one of my favorites as well. If you don't have Verdana, it should default to whatever your default sans-serif typeface is.

    Thanks a lot, GM. That's it!

    I like Verdana, too, but I wish the print was smaller...

    "I like Verdana, too, but I wish the print was smaller..."

    If you're using Firefox, hit Ctrl- (Control and hyphen simultaneously) as many times as necessary to shrink the text to unreadability. (Or I suppose you could stop before you go quite that far -- up to you.)

    For those of us with the other problem, Ctrl= makes the test larger. IE has similar controls, but I don't know the shortcuts for that browser.

    Oh, and I think it would be a good idea to add a Turing test.
