Thank you one and all for setting me straight on this. I've been using the Internet and email for years and never realized, until now, what a menace these so-called "bots" can be. Such systems as reCAPTCHA cause nothing but trouble, so I think it is very good that the websites which do ask whether the person entering information on them will ask whether the person is a robot (bot) or not. I guess this has become a real problem these days, if it is necessary to have devices the likes of reCAPTCHA to weed out the troublemakers.
