I just "broke" the penisbot captcha... Further to the Captcha discussion...

Do you honestly consider my request for clarification an attack?

No - it's not clear. Admitting that you've created a hack to bypass Penisbot's captcha, which is probably the simplest and clearest in the business, does not communicate anything other than your foolishness by publicly announcing such a thing. But that tends to be the hacker's mindset, that whole "I hacked your site to show you that it wasn't secure" mentality.

That makes zero sense. None at all.

Ah! So making it simpler for the cheaters will actually make our lives easier and more profitable. That makes sense. Oh wait - no it doesn't.

The top few LLs are going to have some good tools.. but it's all the other LL owners I'm atempting but clearly failing at reaching.

You clearly don't know what tools any of us use. Yet you are telling us that our scripts are insufficient? Why would you complain about our tools if WE aren't?

You never see the big traffic guys complaining about being flooded with auto submissions and you obviously have no respect for the smaller lists. So I'm not sure why you are complaining.

Are you having a bad day? Is that what this all comes down to?
