>- see footer for list info -< I'm not a fan of captchas. Generally inacessible, unless you also make an audio version available, and even then not the nicest hoop to make users jump through.
One method I've seen elsewhere, but haven't used myself, is an additional input box: The magic word is blah. Please enter the magic word. The only place I've seen this method is the mysociety sites, e.g: http://www.mysociety.org/?p=103 The only difficulty would this is get-aroundable by bots, assuming any bot writer cares enough about your site to spend the time rewriting their bot to regex your form field to get the magic word.
