This type of verification is commonly known as a Captcha and uses various techniques to try to make it difficult for a machine to read the image.

We have introduced this measure to try to stop the abuse of some of our services by automated robots which, for example, post inappropriate entries into the guestbook.

Please let us know by email if you have any problems with this verification method or wish to provide other feedback. We realise it may cause problems for those of you who use screen readers or text only browsers and we are always looking for an alternative.
