Re: quick link to recent captcha guidelines?

Oh fine point!
I prefer honey pots as well.  Still in the discussion I am addressing on 
the Google Access list, the  same source stating that math problems 
provide no security says that also  applies to the Honey pot solution.
I echo your  stance,  there has to be a better solution  other than audio 
challenges, images, math, or anything else that puts walls in the way of 
goods / services.
