    Please add captcha (human recognition) ability to contact form.

    I'm not sure how much 'need' there is for this, but when used, client is very happy and thinks its a good thing. Its a nice bell/whistle.

    thanks.

    To be perfectly honest, I'd rather not add captchas for two reasons:

    1) In general, I don't find captchas are popular with users. They are ugly and sometimes illegible so that even a human being can fail to pass one.
    2) Implemention creates a dependency on graphics libraries which may not be available.

    I will look instead into adding a "spam challenge" question field (as seen in buildingfindablewebsites.com) into a future version.
