		<description><![CDATA[Grant Broome has recently expressed some reservations over the suggestion that site developers abandon text-sizing widgits in favour of educating users instead. He&#8217;s worried that this approach is overly biased Personally, I don&#8217;t see this discussion as particularly biased.

Unlike some of the more sympathetic CAPTCHAs, this one doesn&#8217;t even offer any form of audio support. As a result, [...]]]></description>
