Agreed. It is mostly about what happens after registration, too. In the end, for spammers it is all about cost: if creating an account *and then* sending out stuff to random people is cheap, then you have a problem. I.e. if you you remove IBR, but then have a sign-up form on a website that's equally cheap to get an account from, you haven't solved anything. -- ralphm
