Do you like captchas? I hate them. I started to use de-captcher.com . How do you solve captchas?

Nobody "likes" them.

They exist for the same reason as airport security checks. To protect us, and not to entertain us.

But some folks get more frustrated with them than do others.

Here on WP captchas often "eat" your post. But when that happens you just click the back arrow to find your intact text- and then just post it again (or a third time if need be), and you finally get your text posted.

That method does not work all the time. Sometimes it still "eats" your post. Only surefire method is copy and paste
