Ooh, excellent! Thanks for that. I've been looking for a decent php  
captcha script. The pear one is quite crappy.

In related matters - I have a similar dilemma. CleVR currently uses  
email validation, but a significant minority of users seem to not  
receive the email or at least never actually click the validation  
link. I also wonder how many are put off by the need to enter one,  
despite our assurances that we won't send them any emails unless they  
request them. However, we do need the email if we're going to send  
them notifications of stuff like comments on their panoramas, so we  
don't want them putting in fake emails. What are people's thoughts on  
this? We obviously want to maximise the number of signups (though our  
conversion rate is already ~20%). Should we drop the confirmation  
email? Should we switch to captchas or nothing at all?
