in thread newb: Best way to protect CGI from non-form invocation?

That's no biggie. You can include a warning on the form that would be normally hidden by the same mechanism that hid the input field.

Title: [_________________________] Text: [_________________________] [_________________________] [_________________________] [_________________________] [_________________________] LEAVE EMPTY!! [_] <- "subject" field. Normally hidden by CSS. Only non-CSS clients and overriding CSS clients will see.

And when you receive a form with the field set, you could republish the form (pre-populated) to the client, asking him to resubmit it with the field empty.
