Default Spam got you down?

We just installed a "CAPTCHA" image on both FindAnInspector.US and NACHI's Featured Inspectors page. This image prevents spam bots from sending spam through NACHI's search engines. We had previously limited any given IP address to 5 e-mails per day, but even 5 spam messages is too many. Though there's no way to prevent spam 100%, we're doing everything we can to keep it to a minimum, and this should help quite a bit.

Cheers,

Thanks. Unfortunately, it's the live ones we need to get rid of. Lets use them as mold collectors.
