Incredibly bad idea, especially without a usable non-Flash alternative.

The best idea I can think of, would be periodically expiring email
addresses. October's valid address is November's (and beyond) spamtrap.

I have some doubt that the real spammers are even bothering to crawl the
Web for mailto links (and/or e-mail addresses in text) anymore. If they
are, probably not as much as they were in 1998.
