That doesn't work at all, as bot programmers for World of Warcraft can 
tell you.

On a separate note, it might be helpful to clean up the viewer 
authentication critique page for a Linden to read, I looked over it and 
several of the criticisms were repeats or too similar to the one before 
them to be considered a distinct threat category, and some of them like 
"this is the end of third party viewers!!! :-o" have already been 
refuted as non-issues. Still a bit hard to find the distinct points.
