I recently got 30 new comments on my blog, all of which were spam.
And of course I'm using a CAPTCHA there. So Brad's point is probably
valid.
I don't like captcha's either, and one of their problems is that they're so
easy to see programatically.
I've seen an interesting method in use:
Right above the form, the page text says "Enter the word blue below", it's
in body text. In the form, there's a box named whatsthecolor (or maybe just
'fred'). User enters "blue" and everything goes on. I think it unlikely that
anyone will code their bot to parse the correct word out of the body text
and enter it in the right form field.
I've used a similar method for help email to places like yahoo. At the
bottom of the text I ask "Please tell me your favorite color so I know I'm
working with a real person." Seems to work.
