Captcha

Hey All,

I decided to try to re-open user registration for everyone to encourage people to create user accounts and leave comments. We had to shut it down a while back because we kept getting spammers creating accounts and leaving comments about all kinds of nastyness. In order to try to prevent this, I have added a captcha that requires all new users to go through several human-authentication steps. Hopefully the spammers don't just captcha their own accounts... If they do, we'll have to try to figure out something else, and I appoligize know for any future obscene comments. Any such comments will be removed as soon as possible.

I am also looking at installing several other systems to prevent spam, but am too busy contracting to deal with it at the present moment.
