Exactly.  It would have to be a valuable target, however.

Thanks for the quick response Dean.
I guess if you paid someone to fill out the forms manually, there is really
no way to stop it, short of taking the form off line.

CAPTCHA is easy to bypass, in general.  If there is enough value you
can do it programatically or pay poor people in developing countries
to manually bypass CAPTCHA devices.

Sorry about the off topic post, but I'm curious as to how effective
people have found CAPTCHA at stopping, or at least slowing down the
SPAM form hijacking on public pages?

I have little experience on public sites as most of my development
is on intranet sites.
