Captcha are not very user friendly as they tend to get in the way.

A relevant joke:

Jim and Joe are out hiking in the forest, when in the distance, they  
see a huge bear. The bear notices them, and begins angrily running  
toward them. Jim calmly checks the knots of his shoes and stretches  
his legs.
Joe asks incredulously, "What are you doing? Do you think you can  
outrun that bear!?"
Jim replies, "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun  
you."
