It usually doesn't hit two times in a row. I know it shouldn't have even come to this point, but it's pretty easy to adjust to.


I agree, Michael, it's really annoying but not impossible to accommodate.
I guess it's a security trade-off M@x has certainly considered beforehand, otherwise why have bothered in the first place Ermm ???

It may or may not be a mild inconvenience, or a larger problem for some but that's missing the point. What it is, is a completely unnecessary action that annoys the regular users and doesn't really keep threats away. 

I said it before. There has to be a better way.

I bet if you're on a site that's collecting money you're not going to get this sh*t.

I've had it hit like 5 times in a row before and still can't post emoticons. At that point, I just say f**k it.

I'm not saying I'm going to be leaving the site, but this is more than a minor inconvenience really.

Hear, hear. Thumbs Up 

I sure as heck am not enjoying having to fill out captchas, but they're a mild inconvenience at worst.

Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.
