Guys, havent we all seen good example of what robots do last week with 
that mailkey bot?

I agree with Vernon - the challenge/response roboots are last resort and 
if you already determined its a spam and just want to make sure its not 
false positive. 

If we do any challege-response system it must be automated in a way that 
humans do not get annoyed and that all systems can recognize its a bot and 
since its automated some kind of authenticaiton would be necessary to not 
let spammers participate in it.
