Jane - that article captivated me for more than a half hour! Wow! I am left with no solution. It seems that it's a catch 22.

But I love the ideas presented here: https://webaim.org/blog/spam_free_accessible_forms/

For three reasons:

1. We can implement most of these in Evergreen.
2. We don't need to ask the system administrators to subscribe to a third party CAPTCHA product.
3. Most of these provide accessibility solutions, though not foolproof.

I think that if we employ two or three of these things on this page, we will see a dramatic drop in spam submissions!

Reading that makes me want to code something right away!

PS. I was considering a "roll your own" CAPTCHA. Like this example:

<label for="cap">Please type the name of the library for which you are registering. The exact spelling is shown to you in the dropdown menu above</label>
<input name="cap" type="text" />
