 * I love this plugin and I’m very thankful to the author but we have been getting
   flooded by bots with hundreds of spam messages each week. I enabled Recaptcha
   but anyone who has used this knows that it is extremely difficult to make out
   the letters shown and it takes 3 to 10 attempts to get it right for submission.
   This causes an issue that most people leaving a testimonials will not have the
   patience to keep trying over and over to submit. Thus when I enabled it our testimonials
   fell from a 3 or 4 a week to none over the last 2 weeks. After the site owner
   complained I had to shut it off this morning and sure enough we got 2 testimonials
   today and about 40 new bot spams.
 * I would seriously ask the author to use a different captcha script that is not
   a strict as Recaptcha so we can stop the spam and keep our testimonials coming
   in.
 * Thank you!
