anyone know why

when you sign up for a email address at the end you have to put in a squggley code.why?went through about 8 of them before i got it right.

[crazycathy2]

to see if you deserve the email...

something to do with you being an individual as opposed to a company or something I don't know

[Mamyalynne]

I`ve been told its to prevent an automated sign up? whatever that means but i can never make out the letters or numbers and like you have multiple tries afore is right, some have audio but thats worse as they have background noise thrown in LOL

[crazycathy2]

Yeah that is what I meant what mamyalynne has put in proper words otherwise the sites get too much spam

[naway]

thanks guys

google does this a lot. I find hotmail a lot more efficient yet it has a limit on how many email addresses you can sign up for in 1 week from 1 ip address

Don't know. Only had to do it once, and it was an easy one to decypher.
