+1.

Why not just add a simple question to the form to prevent the bots from
submitting it?

Something like "Write PostgreSQL in this field:" should be sufficient
IMHO. It's just an example, I'm pretty sure we can come up with
something simple enough for everyone.

I don't think this form has sufficient value for spammers to make them
write something specific to it.
