No worries Bill, I know you have been swamped, the captcha thing is the picture with the letter/numbers obscured so a machine can't "screen scrape" them, i.e. more lines through them, etc. I'm not sure sending the activation thing to email will stop these bots, they are probably set up to submit a valid email and programatically check it for the activation key. Unfortunately there is no way to keep them all out but could weed out a few more with some stronger requirements during the registration phase.
Thanks for all you do on here,
Pat
