First things first - no I am still alive just have been awfully busy and not had a chance to blog. 
A couple of guys have implemented two Captcha controls (I had first implemented this as part of upgrading to CS 2.1 Beta 2) for CS 2007.
- Brenda Tompkins's Captcha control (which I am using here) – this in addition to the blog comments also supports contact, photos, file comments and registration – cool. Steps to install this is fairly straight forward and you don't need to modify any of the skin files – which makes life quite easy!
- Jose Fco Bonnin also has released a Captcha control which I have not tried out so cannot comment first hand.
