It's at least impossible for blind users to solve the captcha, without an
audio captcha. (unless they manage to find the toolserver account
creation

I am not convinced of the benefits of captcha versus other spam filtering
techniques.

Someone should write a browser addon to automatically decode and fill in
captchas for blind users. (Only half joking)
