"Angelina Sutherland" et al. ... robotic smartness

You might have noted that some weeks ago I added a visual reading test (requires users enter a code defined by an image when registering) to the forum member registration procedure to keep the robots out. However, it did not help at all! How do they do it?? I guess they buy cheap human labor to do the job?
