Since I'm the one naming the fields, I go "deeper" with the bot trick by naming the hidden field "email" and the visible field something else. Bots are more attracted by the "email" field and many of them use email addresses to fill almost every field of you form. So, it's good to trick them even more. :) I’ve been using this method successfully for over 2 years now and it surely beats a lot of other more complicated solutions.
