Yes, or to simplify the point using an analogy I shared yesterday, I don't
need a double-key deadbolt lock to try to avert determined break=ins. I just
need a screendoor to keep the random pests out.

I wrote a couple blog entries elaborating things just last night, including
one that shows how to greatly simplify the captcha generated by Lyla
captcha. 

Captchas: making them simpler, and dialing down the angst against them

Simplifying the captcha graphic in Lyla Captcha (and BlogCFC)

Still, I realize that the latter part of this thread is more about
alternatives to graphic captchas, and that's certainly a worthwhile
discussion also as I allude to in the first entry.

Well essentially you can, but you can spoof useragents and referers quite
easily. Everything you add is just a deterrent, if they want to spam you
enough they will. It is like home security, you are just trying to make you
neighbour look more attractive to burgle than you!
