Okay fair enough. I guess it really is useful to reduce the number of spams, although you would still expect spams :-) I have implemented captcha before, but I found it very inconvenient for the visitors and as you said the operation is quite expensive. Do you have any other recommendation of another spam preventer service? I haven't tried akismet, it sounds really user-friendly compared to captcha.
