Uh-huh. Good you noticed that. This means they actually have gone 
through the trouble of writing a script that creates OSM accounts AND 
confirms the link in the e-Mail they get... great news, we'll hit one 
million users rather quickly now ;-)

Glad they haven't started user diaries yet ;-)

Maye someone with Rails skills could quickly grab an existing captcha 
solution and add it to 
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/sites/rails_port/app/controllers/user_controller.rb?

Bye
Frederik
