That's not what Stan was referring to. Gross misspellings like "bits if
information" are not confidence-builders.

For one thing, charging $10 for "2 small unencoded php files" is beyond
silly, and verging on dishonest. It's like charging for "hello world".
For another, they don't even work. That isn't an effective CAPTCHA. The
verification letters are in the clear in the HTML, not embedded in an image;
it would take the stupidest script kiddie spammer about five minutes to
automate a form submission for this form.
