[SATLUG] Seeking robot immunity in my feedback form

[Donguitar]

| Personally, I'm leaning towards simple comment moderation by e-mail, 
| which also passes through all the standard anti-spam filters. 

I've never used filtering in my email.  I dislike the notion because
it doesn't eliminate the problem, it defers the need to deal with
it until a time of your choosing but you've still got to deal with
it or risk missing email you'd much prefer to have received.

Because I spend a great deal of time on the web I've used a
lot of captcha forms (without knowing anything about them
until now) and I don't mind them but I dislike the fact that
some are case sensitive while some are not and there are
times when I can't read the characters they're displaying
(and very few have a reload button).  So, while I can
accept such forms as something of a necessary evil I
was hoping for another alternative and by raising the
specter of "accessibility" you've simplified my choices.

Accessibility matters to me.  I realize that my site
has accessibility issues but I pay attention to the
things I understand and can do something about.
I stopped writing words in capital letters when a
vision impaired friend pointed out that his screen
reader spelled out words that appear in caps,
rather than reading them.  I try to put alt text
on all images and I've started adding title
text to image links.

I think our new host's mail server offers some sort
of filtering and I can create an address to be used
solely for feedback.  Now, if I could just get kmail
to run on Windows *sigh*.

Thank you gentlemen.  If you lived in Buchanan Lake
Village, as I do, you'd appreciate what an incredibly
valuable resource SATLUG truly is.
