So, I'm not striking back out you, because I agree that these are quite tiresome. However, I would suggest that the best target of our frustration is not the recaptcha users, but the sleezy spambot organizations that make recaptcha necessary.

In fact, the Internet in general would be a much more pleasant experience if only we didn't have to guard against spam, viruses, adware and the like. It's amazing when you consider the aggravation tax that we all must bear because of the actions of a few graffiti spraying kids and a handful of sleezy 'business' people.
