do you really mean that spam bots successfully ran OCR on it? i have to admit, 
i'm surprised. granted, many captchas are easily OCRed, and people do make a 
big deal out of that....but i figured that having a captcha at all, regardless 
of how distorted it is, would be enough. i would have bet money that spammers 
would pass up captchas for the greener pastures of non-captcha'd blogs, 
instead of going to all the effort of coding an OCR scraper.
