's detects whether a user downloads images. If not, they're presumed to be a bot & get attacked with a puzzle. And yet it's all the *images* that strain the network in the 1st place, not the text.

@wend I don't follow. If you're presented with a CAPTCHA, then you've already been treated as a robot whether to solve it or not. From there, I personally suggest /not/ solving CAPTCHAs b/c that supports the CAPTCHA pushers. When you dance for them you give them power.
