[Nfbc-info] websight access

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

yes, many of the alternatives to captcha web sites are difficult to 
understand as the voices are garbled and mixed to create the distorted 
equivalent of what is on the screen. I with perfect above average hearing 
have had to try several times to sign up on several of them so this is not 
just a problem for deaf-blind people.
