this is probably good enough to do some short term data collection. It requires
one file with write permissions turned on. I'm thinking running it for about a
week on a large wiki would yield lots of data. Any takers? I'm running it on
mine, but I've got so many other spam filters in place that the data isn't as
meaningful.
I've got the captcha logging similar information to a file like this:

The really interesting part will be checking to see which ones never get the
captcha form submission.
It could be useful to get comparison data for some other wikis as well.
