Are there any other reasons for implementing a captcha, other than to
block automation?  Without any other reasons, simple logic proves they
are purposely intending to block attempts to automate the use of that
form.  So unless their decision to implement the captcha completely
defies logic, they are definitely *not* ok with Kirk automating it.

*sigh*

But I must concede the point that, yes, there are a great deal of
people who's minds are illogical.  But they rarely live long, or run
companies that last long.  :P
