duh

I just noticed the following "explanation" above the CAPTCHA (word verification) test for entering comments on someone's blog:

"This test is used to prevent automated robots from posting comments."

As opposed to unautomated robots?

Good catch!

The image of a robot (as in iRobot) hunched over a keyboard, trying to hack into computers is creeping me out.
;-P

...but I feel sad for the little robot - unable to post its comments - robots have feelings too...oh stop it hazel...

my team is going to LOVE that. i don't think that she can turn this feature off, Clare. I think it's a blogger-enforced thing.
love and kisses,
a manual robot

Yes, i can choose to turn it off... in Blogger, it's under "Settings" then "comments" then "word verification.

I leave it on so I don't get comment-spammed, and I don't want to turn comment moderation on...
