Proving that we aren't robots!

We are receiving quite a few comments regarding the necessity to prove that we aren't robots when leaving comments.  In the good old days this wasn't a problem but, since the format has changed to very difficult to read numbers and words (sometimes impossible,)  it sometimes  takes several attempts to get the code right.

If there is a possibility that you are willing to disable this function it would be much appreciated.  There doesn't seem to be a problem with spam for those bloggers who do not use the code check.  Thankyou!
