Everything seems to be ok with captcha plugin V3.5.3 A new feature
allows to display the CAPTCHA test only to bots. No image, no
question, no slider... very user friendly.

>> Captcha Plugin
>> Pros
>> - Very easy to use by user

>> Cons
>> - Not sure how long it has been around
>>
>> reCAPTCHA Plugin
>> Pros
>> - Run by Google who constantly tweak it to make it harder on the spam bots
>> - These tweaks do not require any changes on our part
>> Cons
>> - Everyone uses it so the spambots are familiar with how to attack it
>> - CAPTCHA's be hard to read
