Re: Please read asap--reCAPTCHA rewritten

One small editorial..

In Paragraph 5 of 3.1.1 - Version 2: Are you a robot? - the para starts 
with a lower case o - 'on the the other hand'.

I suggest that you drop this anyway and start the para with "It now 
appears that audio CAPTCHAs.. [...]" it has more bite that way IMO.
