Brian Good grief. If anyone has any bright ideas about simple ways to Brian change that form to make it less vulnerable to the spambots, I'd Brian be happy to incorporate them into Buildbot. Require a password? It can be widely known throughout each buildbot community with little danger of being guessed by a spambot.
