what I was referring to earlier in this thread. Most bots (today anyway)
fill in all fields with some sort of information. So if you have a field
with a name of "lastName" and don't display it on the page for humans, how
is a bot going to know that it is a fake field or a real field. Granted in
the future they may have formed a better bot to circumvent this, but heck
there are more and more captchas that are getting bypassed every day.
