Note sure if this would work with the protections we have here at WP.com though.

I'll probably just put in a contact page then, and use drmike's suggestion to avoid excessive spam.

I do remember someone mentioning that they had a contact form within their theme now though since we now have page templates. You may want to review your DashBoard -> Write -> Write Page -> Page Templates to see if you have this. I don't know if it would work though on WP.com

Hope this helps,

That part is fed by the template, and there's no access to that. You might place it in a text widget at the top of your sidebar. Taht's what I finally had to do.

I know, I know, spam and all that, but I already get a ton of spam, so a bit more won't hurt.
