Wow!  I just got hit with over *400* comment spams on backspaces!

I had heard about it but had not personally experienced it.  Its why  
you get those weird and annoying "tell me what this distorted image  
says" tickets before being able to enter your comment for forums or  
blogs.

So I've instituted several suggestions on this page:

.. but it seems a difficult problem to solve, other than simply  
moderating every comment.

Have any of us friamers had this happen to their sites?  Any  
interesting solutions?
