Congratulation on you method of determining if I'm human or a spam bot.....It's a tremendous improvement over other sites which gives you alphanumeric characters which I can't read/decipher. They need to start using something similar to it!

@Bruce: Thank you for the feedback. It surprised me how effective a simple question about a cat was to the stop spam comments. I don't think I've seen a single spam comment for months now :)

Have a nice day!
