seems to me that for proper anti-spamming action, we need to lay our 
hands on some of these spambots to see how they do it!

Otherwise, your discussion sounds very interesting, though the 
technicalities are a little beyond me (but I get the general idea).

Another good way to slow not-so-subtle spammers who post from the same 
IP address is to set a minimum delay between two comments from the same 
IP to, say, 5 minutes or something.
