And be sure to put a paragraph of (hidden) explanatory text above it so |

that blind users with screen readers don't attempt to fill it in. |

Another efficient trick is to change the "Submit" button to "Preview", |
| 10 |
and have the real submit button visible only on the following page -- |
| 11 |
while they're looking at the preview. Most bots aren't smart enough to |
| 12 |
follow the result of the first "click." For bonus annoyance, you can |
| 13 |
add a "Cancel" button before the "Send" button; most bots just use the |
| 14 |
first button on the form without regard for what it does. |
