Blog Gestapo?

This post is totally arbitary So if you're looking for anything more, now would be a good time to move on. I'm just venting. I get so mad when I get mad and there is noone to yell at. Those rows of letters that you have to copy into the little box before "they" will let you leave your comment on someone's blog. I mean, in the first place, what the heck is THAT about? Do I have to show how determined I am to leave a comment? Is it a character check? Do they think that anyone who takes the trouble to do their little exercise, must be a good person? Or does it magically sift out any undesirable content like a kind of blog-gestapo? But that is not my main problem: This is - It randomly and contemptuously discards my copycat input every now and then. Hey! Do you, invisible and irritating computer goblin, really think I am incapable of stringing a few letters together correctly!? Just get out of the way and let me through, ok! The goblin is like: "No. Just do it again. Because I say so. I might let you through next time I'll see." WHAT! @#%$&*%$*#& Breathe, allie, breathe There are people out there with real problems . . . . Oh shut UP! Anyway thanks, long suffering reader, whoever you are, who had the tenacity to stay this long.

ja, its called 'word verification' to prevent spam and auto robots etc. I took mine off, figured I would take my chances.

It irritates the crapola out of me on others blogs .... I have noticed thought the the word verification gets easier each time you get it wrong so just act dumb and eventually it will just give you, like, 3 letters . Cos you know it knows right?

Want to know what I hate even MORE???

Trying to comment on a google blog. That would be blogger. Blogspot. Yes also where you host your blog along with another 10 million or so people.

First - try to find the "Post a Comment" link...somewhere int he middle of all that other text down there...

click...wait for comment page to load...

click name/url (cos I aint a blogspot blogger)

click it again, when it stubbornly RELOADS the page AGAIN, wiping out my beautifully phrased FIRST comment.

finally fill in my details
(and those stupid letters you were talking about - and thank god you don't have them!)

Wait for page to reload again, and make sure it went through.

Move on.

I must *really* love you guys to go through all that right? :)

I am SO with you. Seriously, how many people have actually had problems with spam and auto robots? I'd love to know! I've never had word verification on my blog and true as nuts in the 2 years I've been bloggin I haven't had a robot visitor yet - well not that I am aware of! (touch wood ;-)

I laughed so hard when I read that. I thought I was the only one annoyed by that. I've never left a message on my site and I sooo hope mine isn't set up that way.
