Why are you asking me these silly questions?

Wondering why the forms on our site have strange questions at the bottom? They help prevent malicious people from using the forms to bombard our staff with spam. Our old forms often got hit by "robots" dozens of times each day.

Some sites make you decipher mangled text in order to submit a form. Those "captchas" (as they're called) block spammers just like our odd questions. Unfortunately, those graphics are tough for most people to read. If you're blind or have poor vision, you can't get past them.

Our odd-but-easy questions are easy for any human being to answer, including those of us who need screen-reader software. Please forgive us for the inconvenience.
