Sure you could lways argue that people who want to post a comment will do so anyways, but in terms of usability it definitely is a headache!! It's much easier when people fill in their names with the remove me tag, because this can be cached and doesnt have to be typed in on a use per use basis.

It doesn't take too long either. So I wonder what usability issues you are referring to? Yes... there are accessibility issues. Security-code systems like these will pose a problem to visually-impaired users or people with dyslexia. But for personal sites/blogs these are not showstopping problems. And yes... there are other problems like these systems are easily hackable using simple OCR software. Or these systems cannot stop human spammers. But the security-code system can stop dead most of the non-human spammers (i.e. spambots) which contribute to majority of comment spam these days.

Reading of LCDs in lowlight conditions can be a problem... and I am not even talking of monochrome LCDs yet. Sachin, another input area doesn't matter as long as it doesn't tax your noodles.
