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."
