For the webforms I use a "user-friendly" CAPTCHA where the visitor does NOT have to type in anything.
Examples are to be found in the free e-book JavaScript Vitamins: Free JavaScripts, Tutorials, Example Code, Reference, Resources, And Help
If you use my Javascript example above, people can cut and paste and the link is clickable. I get virtually no spam on email addresses I have tested it with. And the stuff that I did get was from real humans (mainly Chinese people trying to sell me stuff related to my web site and not Cialis or Viagra spam.)
