The problem I have with standardized anti-spam / captcha type form techniques is that it standardized the technology the spammers have to overcome -- allowing them to potentially leverage their efforts across a great many websites. If everyone took the time to write a custom script or technology the spammers would pull their hair out trying to deal with all these varying methodologies, and who knows, eventually they may give up and go into chiropracty.
