I've always wanted to ask this question...
I've always known the typing the characters in an image ensures that you are human. If I was a bot () what would I do to the characters?

If you're a machine, you can't 'read' the characters in the image, so you don't know what characters should be input. If the wrong characters are input, access (registration) is denied.

Yes, it's correct, if you are machine never you won't see the words in the image.

Crotalito, I'm going to make a correction...
Yes, that's right. If you are a machine you will never/you won't see the letters in the images.

Ok, as I said in my previous post, if you are a machine, you never won't watch the letter of the image showed in the website, then if you are intelligent, and if you are a good programmer then you will able to do much things with Linux.

What is Linux?

I think the original question about why some new members don't post has been answered, and this thread has gotten pretty far off topic. Let's try to keep threads on-topic and not go on about too many extraneous things.

Thread closed.
