[1.5] trim($_POST)/die obsolete?

    I was using a slightly modified version of Jeff Barr‘s comment verification in my WordPress 1.2.2 version. It worked better than any hack or plug-in I had used before… When I upgraded today I found out that the comments marked as “spam” by this code would still go through.

    The code he developed used “trim($_POST)” which seems to be missing in 1.5. Am I mistaken? Does 1.5 have any similar option which would make his verification work?

    From wp-comments-post.php:

    $spammer = trim($_POST["spammer"]);
    if ( "no" != $spammer )
    die("If you are not a spammer, please press your back button.");

    (The commenter had to choose the “I am not a spammer” radio button for the comment to be accepted.)
