Find the pig to talk to us. 

We love to hear from our readers. Really, we do.

But we don't love the amount of  junk in our inbox caused by computers putting junk in our forms. So, if you fill out one of our feedback forms, like this one  you'll see a little "test" at the bottom.

It's using a technology called CAPTCHA , which is just a simple computer program designed to tell whether the entity filling out the form is human or computer. In many cases, the CAPTCHA asks you to type a word shown in squiggly letters. In our case, all you have to do is identify a pig. It's easy to do and, with luck, it will reduce the amount of SPAM our system has to deal with.

Thanks.
