We're protecting the internet (any you) from spammers. So we're asking you to confirm that you're not an automated computer program (bot) used by a spammer to send us spam.
If we didn't do this, a spammer's computer program might be able to use our form to send spam to us. This costs us a lot of time and effort to do the programming for this check.
We know that it takes you a little longer to enter your info, but we think it's worth it.
People are smarter than computers, so, we're asking you to simply enter the text you see in the image - because a computer program (spammer) probably can't do that.
By entering the text you see, you're helping our server confirm that you're a real human being and not an automated computer program.
Thanks.
