Hello Tracy and everyone,

    Or develop a spam bot killer similar to CFFormProtect for the Microsoft 
environment.

In this case, "they" is Microsoft.  They are willing to listen to
suggestions, but no one knows how much work they're actually willing to
do. On the other hand, if they do listen, it could be great for many more
people than just my hospital.

The only solution I've heard about that would work for deaf-blind people
is some kind of story problem.  I remember someone discussing that
here...John?

Nancy,
You mean they show a picture of a bird, and play a bird sound?  If you
said cardinal instead of bird, would it still work? Interesting.
