- What gives? Couldnt a simple 4 or 5 digit do? Why does this have to be a novel? Of course they have to stick the q and g (gq) together and 1l. In bold tempus font. Totally not readable. Totally pisses me off after I have tried ah, let say, 3 times to get my posts up on my blog.

Dont try this at home folks when you've had something alcoholic to drink.

So, somebody explain to me why these things have to complicated. Are we trying to prevent a 5 year old to enter posts. Or what?
