I can understand why some sites use Captcha to weed out bots.
There was a time when one had correctly to enter a displayed, distorted string of letters - seems reasonable but apparently not foolproof.
Then came the need to tick a number of images of traffic lights / buses / crosswalks / cars / trains . . . etc. That tended to be an absolute nightmare where something crossed over adjacent boxes but I guess that it worked.
What I really cannot understand are those sites where you simply have to tick a box confirming that you are a human - IN GOD'S NAME, WHY? What on Earth is the point of that?
