I was not refering to you in particular, but people in general. The usual
solution seems to be something like a word problem or a simple math problem,
like this:

one plus two equals a single number

They enter the single digit in a form and it authenticates. That so far
seems to avoid the problem with robots. Then you would need some kind of
web form and auth system. I have no good answer for that.

Alternatively, you could have people write off list and ask for access
information and you could create user accounts.

Again, I am not singling you out in particular, but I have noticed this
trend of making people see a picture has become much more common in recent
times, even though OCR can defeat it, thus making the effort wasted. I am
sorry for picking on you especially.
