I looked *at* it, not really into it.  It seems like a clever approach, and
might work well for some situations, but on balance it seems far too much
mechanism for the rather small annoyance that spam is to me.  It certainly
does make those who would write to you work harder to do so; speaking only
for myself, anyone who places such a barrier in the way can probably expect
not to benefit (if that's the word for it) from my advice.  :-/

But if you are, for some reason, attracting truly huge flows of spam, and
are in a position to employ this, it might prove very useful.
