Hello Sam and all

Wiki page: I've clicked login, then register new account or whatever,
typed in camel case name, password and then keep being asked about
someone called Alexandre in a Text captcha box. It keeps telling me I've
got the answer wrong, which I have because I have no idea who Alexandre
might be, and then I can't access the gNewSense.org domain at all for
some time.

Is this some form of anti-spam device or a cunning way of discouraging
contributions? If the latter, it is remarkably effective!
