In the last month or so, I have found that the “word verification” words and letters have taken on a new format and are next to impossible for me to decipher. There have been many times when I have tried at least 5 times before finally giving up and moving on to the next blog. That is a shame because in these instances I really did want my comment to go through. I could handle - sometimes with difficulty - the old format with the one grouping of letters, but this new one is way out of the ballpark. It looks like the one I copied and pasted below. After 6 tries I finally got something I could read and duplicate correctly. As far as spam goes, I have received a couple of questionable comments - nothing rude or crude - in my “comment moderation” list, but I have simply dropped them directly into the “spam” folder. I have had no problems since starting this many months ago. By no means am I trying to get you to change what you are doing. I just wanted to share my experience with you.
This is what the new “not a robot” looks like. Similar ones used to appear every once in a while, but now it is almost always.

The following is quoted from Beatrice’s blog:
"For those of us who like to comment a lot, word verification is a pain. Some bloggers will not even comment if they must go through the deciphering process. And believe me, it is a process. One mistake and it's back to the box with letters harder to decipher."

Help spread the word by identifying your blog as a "word verification free blog." It's a courtesy to those who take time to comment on your posts. “
