Hi to all.

The article below about an Australian-based petition to get rid of captia (there is a link to the petition inside the article) is worth the read. And while signing petitions usually don't accomplish anything outside of making one's voice heard, I will say that, especially given the latest set of messages regarding Webvism access, it may well be time to make our voices heard on this one.
