received two new emails at eliza@deafgain.org that appear to be either bot or spam... there was a lull for awhile with no emails, but then started up again last night and this morning... have copied and pasted both emails for both for easy reference below::::

For now, I used honeypot method with a hidden form field that bots will fill out when submitting via the contact form. If it's blank, it means humans didn't see that field to fill out to submit. We will try it for now to see if this works.
