Now you're making me paranoid! That's why I have an address listed just for blogging which says "Google's mail service" instead of a domain name. I figure if they're too stupid to figure out what that means, I don't want them to email me anyway. (I'm not joking about that.) ok. Now you’re making me paranoid!

I've actually seen web spiders that do an incredible job at OCR'ing images - even ones that are deemed to be relatively obscure. Of course, if you use an image generator, it'll be even easier as they'll have seen a thousand others like it. :) hmm .. looks like this goofy guy wants me to put my email in to submit this comment.... ;) It’s funny how quickly people forget that OCR is a very mature technology these days.
