[Nfb-web] More Dislike for CAPTIAS

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Steve,

Thanks. Let me assure everyone that it's not my intention to spam the list
with these messages. Rather I think it would help our case if we gathered
posts like this from various Web development technologies groups to prove
that it's not just the blind who have been frustrated by the use of spam
control methods that inhibit our access to particular areas of Web sites and
computer applications that are now proving to be highly ineffective in
stopping spam bots.
I merely wanted everyone to know that we're not the only ones that are fed
up with CAPTIAS.
Peter Donahue
