Yes you do.  As does every other administrator and since we're all coming up
with our q&a the spammer would lose his economy of scale to figure out all the
answers.  Spammer cannot download the file directly, though enough visits to
the web site in question would yield up all the questions. That, again, 
increases the spammers cost.

Who says I have to include the answer in the question?  
What is the color of the sky?
What is the color of egg yolks?
What state is north of Oregon? (Tough for people on the east coast I admit)
What state is the home of Microsoft?

The questions, and bot parsability, are up to the admin.

I'm really pleased by this system:  it was dead easy to set up, very easy to
populate with questions, and my spam count dropped to Zero.  Effective
and simple, I like that in a system.
