I don't care, frankly. I'm still not going to help anyone to break
CAPTCHAs automatically. If you're unable to solve CAPTCHAs, it's
equivalent to being unable to run VBScript or unable to download music
over a proprietary streaming protocol: it's a problem to be solved by
getting the server admin to change policy, *not* by trying to script
around it. Scripting around the problem just forces everyone to make
it harder to script around the problem. You're joining the arms race,
and on the wrong side.

Breaking CAPTCHAs is *not* good for any issue.
