Word Verification

I understand the need for security. This internet of ours is gigantic and almost everyone (including all the sickos) is on it. I totally get the need to make sure your account won't be corrupted so I think it is great that there are measures we can take to keep our fun stuff fun and just the way we like it. But sometimes something that sounds like a good idea can be a real pain. I am talking about Word Verification codes. They are a series of several numbers and letters used to verify comments to postings and interaction is indeed between humans and not computer to computer. I don't understand what the word Pish means, but I do know these codes help you to not get Pished. No one ever wants to get Pished. I was Pished once, my friend alerted me and I did something about it. I survived a very mild case of Phising but I know there are really bad things out there called Hackers and Virus' that can do really bad things to your computer. Don't want that! We have to look out for ourselves...Case in point...
Word Verifications. I have several friends that have word verifications on their sites which require the codes be entered before your message will be sent. I am sorry but Word Verifications STRESS ME OUT!!! On one friends site, the code I must enter changes every 15 seconds, sorry but I am not the quickest typist and sometimes I wonder if the letter is a zero or an O or a one or an l, by the time I figure it out, bling, the code changes...Wahhhhhh I just want to send my friend a message. Today I was sending another friend a note and the letters in her word verification code were smushed together and set in a wave pattern. That must really be secure cause I totally could not decipher the letters and bummer, my charming, uplifting, witty note went to Phishing land.

Luckily for her, I am persistent and got my message to her after another try cause I know her life would not be complete unless she got my comment...

Hey, I just thought of something... Maybe the one they are trying to keep out is ME!!!
