But, I suspect that the problem is coming from bots making direct POST's rather than doing a page view and then submitting therefrom. Of course, I could be wrong. Even if I'm right now, nothing is preventing someone from making a smarter bot. Hmm... guess it would be a good idea to delete the CAPTCHA value from the session data after the form is submitted to avoid multiple submissions using the same value.
