It’s my understanding that this feature can be added to software so that evil automatic-registration devices cannot get on here and say rude things to me.  You have to prove you’re a human being, and evil automatic-registration devices are not clever enough to read squiggles.

My technically-proficient friend who knows about this stuff and set this up for me has removed that particular requirement from the registration screen, and we seem to be good to go.

Now, I want you to know that I was (and am) majorly worried about rude machinery.  But I guess I’ll chance it for the privilege of hearing from you squiggle-reading humans.

So — men, women, and machines — welcome.  Again.

Just don’t say anything rude, okay?
