If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
Captcha? Who Here Would Disagree?

It is really a sad fact -- we live in such a marketing driven and abusive world that you can't trust EVEN A TECHIE to respect free technology. I suspect the people spamming this sight with illegal passports (and other stuff) probably make a big mess at restaurants also, talk too loud in movie theaters, throw trash into the street -- AND would be the first to complain if any of their internet liberties were infringed.
And -- if I can point out the obvious, anyone answering any of these posts is just asking for a world of trouble. Avoid, avoid.
So -- I would vote for a strong Captcha mechanism applied to all posts. It takes five extra seconds. Only a few people post compared to the many that read. But I am open to other opinions on this.
