Bot Protection in Very General Terms

That authentication is a defense against spam bots, which seek and extract information not limited to e-mail addresses, to further spam proliferation among other things. The practice of setting those characters takes human participation which defeats the automated process bots happen to be.

When you leave the site or re-click on the "Questions" tab, it erases the cookie that your entering of the characters created. That is what it is supposed to do- reverify if it does not detect that you are still continuously connected to the site.

By the way, you can also highlight and drag them to save time.

On the other hand, if you are paranoid, it is because we know who you are, where you live....

What do you mean by drag them and save time? If you mean the letters they change everytime.
