Well, what concerns me is that the spammers are going at these mass

the web form subscription more of a hurdle for spammers, e.g. captcha, etc?
I'm not a big believer in captcha's (advances in tech have made a
lot of them trivially easy to in an automated way, making them
annoying to users for little gain) but it might be worth thinking
about a plug in architecture for this in mm3 in case something
better does come up, or so people can enjoy their placebos...
If you decide to do captcha's, please make it optional -- or offer
other alternatives. I have 150 lists, and thousands of blind and
visually impaired users, including myself, and captcha's are the bane
of our existence!
