Different approach to form protection

I've done this on a couple well-visited client sites and it worked incredibly well. The best part is that it's super easy to add an invisible "email" field to a form and check if it has any content on the backend. By far the best bang for the buck.<p>I'm fairly sure I first learned this trick from Chris Shiflett's blog[1] a few years back, although I can't seem to find the original post.<p>1: <a href="http://shiflett.org/" rel="nofollow">http://shiflett.org/</a>
