Re: Debian Developers fail Turing tests?

I think that the fact that there are like three layers in the captcha makes one doubt about how many chars to enter. Also, after hitting preview, the captcha changes and the string is erased, and after hitting submit, in case you failed the captcha, all the content is erased. Neither of those practices seem too polite. Imagine you wrote a very long and elaborate comment, then you preview it, you like it, you hit "Submit Comment" and you are scolded for not filling in the captcha and all your content is lost... I know, you can hit the "back" button and the content SHOULD still be there, but that depends on the browser... And it seems that hitting the back-button is not captcha compatible.
