How about giving the option? I like CAPTCHA personally, 'cause it really

This cookie thing, which I have tested on my contact form program, has
proved to work 100% so far, so it would be difficult to cut it down
more. ;-)
Sure, in theory CAPTCHA is safer. Theoretically a spammer might wright a
script which first sends a request to pick up the cookie, and then in a
second step includes that cookie in the submit request. But to do that,
he would both need to figure out that there is a cookie, and spend time
writing a script only for Ringlink. Considering that spamming a Ringlink
system is totally pointless, he won't bother.
If, later on, I'm proved to be wrong, I'm ready to resign myself and
replace the cookie solution with CAPTCHA.
