[wp-hackers] Anti spam idea

It seems like is should be possible for WP to impliment the same kind
of anti automation that sites like Yahoo! use.  We could create a
image for each letter in the latin (english) alphabet and number 1-10
that are manipulated to make if very difficult for a spam posting
program to read.

That way the person making the comment only has to enter the 6
charater "code" to make the post.  The benefits are no moderation and
no keywords.

I am attaching an example picture from Yahoo!

Just a thought,
-Ethan
