Perhaps the same is true of would-be users...

I personally much prefer Ned's, hmm, humanistic approach to the problem:

"Rather than stopping bots by having people identify themselves, we  
can stop the bots by making it difficult for them to make a successful  
post, or by having them inadvertently identify themselves as bots.  
This removes the burden from people, and leaves the comment form free  
of visible anti-spam measures."
