Is that the best argument you can come up with against my form? That is
pretends to be CAPTCHA when it isn't? Its NOT CAPTCHA and is so obviously
NOT CAPTCHA - its a simple script that thwarts spam bots and IT WORKS.
Will it work 12 months from now? Who knows? Will CAPTCHA? It probably
has a better chance of being beaten, since more people use it...hence,
spammers have more motivation to get around it.
