That's as may be, but bozo is not trying to improve handicapped 
accessibility, he's trying to write a spambot.

Please don't use the accessibility concerns surrounding captcha to 
justify writing spambot software. It doesn't help the accessibility 
argument to be seen to be pro spambot, in fact if anything it may damage 
it. I agree that there are more reasons not to use captcha these days 
than there are to use them, however I still don't advocate helping spambot 
bastards defeat them.
