No, I am NOT a bot.

What the fuck? Are there really that many acne splatters out there?

A bot says what?

Re: No, I am NOT a bot.

A bot says nothing ... it just irritates humans.

What's going on, did I miss something?

Did someone suggest that jake is a bot?!?

If so, that's on the shortlist for my personal, informal 'Joke of the Year' award.

For a couple days, I got a screen asking me to answer a "captcha"[0] to prove I wasn't a bot every couple of hours.

[0] It wasn't actually a "captcha" ... Not sure what the point was. ElReg ain't talking.

Weird. And pointless.

Sometimes weird, in a good way. Hardly ever pointless. Hey, you don't have to agree with him. But I do appreciate someone who says what he thinks and actually has thought before saying it.

I have no problems talking to you, but…

No, I am NOT a bot.

…doesn't look like a conversation.

In fact, until you pointed out the problem in the later comment, I admit I didn't have the foggiest clue about what you were ranting about.

as the page about the website points out, any time you've got a problem with the website, please mail webmaster@ with details in case you have issues.

As you were subjected to a captcha multiple times, I think at least something about your browser, UA string, and your IP should help us find out what happened.
