Someone who is talking about security should certainly know how to protect their page from comment spam with a captcha, really makes me question if you know what you're doing at all

F0l2saken, while I personally like CAPTCHAs, there are certain accessibility problems that make them difficult for some people to use. Also, CAPTCHAs aren't foolproof -- people have been launching man-in-the-middle attacks against them for some time now (http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=captcha+man+in+the+middle).

And while I write the content on this blog, the site is owned by Microsoft, not me. For the reasons I wrote above, Microsoft has decided not to implement CAPTCHA.
