I agree, a perfectly reasonable question, and I could counter with a
different option.  I could try and determine which browser was coming in
and disable the ReCaptcha just for the browsers that matter.

As it happens, it was disabled completely for a year or more, between
the time that Google changed their API and the time that I "fixed" the
code.


However, the client has concerns about their Contact page and a page
where users can send each other e-mail messages.


So, the answer is, to a large extent, yes, we do need ReCaptcha, within
a certain range of "need."
