Interesting. If I may ask, what alternate routes did you take to counter spam without resorting to CAPTCHAs?

Honeypots and timestamps would work in many cases. There are folks who want to captcha anything because they couldn't care less about users. But then when you take a step back and question if it's really necessary, it's frequently not.
