Good point, and yes- I have. The whole thing about security is that you have to make it easy enough for people to still USE your service/system/whatever but difficult enough for the people you dont want using the system. It's a balance. Any system, no matter how strong, will be broken given enough time and desire. The idea is to find the right balance between usability and security.

This concept may not be for everyone... few people have come up with any new security solutions in 10 years that I've been working in the adult world, yet webmasters still complain about the same problems, over and over.
