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

I participated in one of those threads, and as I pointed out in Re: If CAPTCHA isn't the answer. What is?, a CAPTCHA isn't what most people seem to think it is. There are also a few additional suggestions in terms of proving someone is a human.

I think the most worthy point of the articles you references is that nothing is a perfect solution. SPAM is a fact of life, and anything you do will (a)be a tradeoff and (b)fail to stop all attacks.
