Question IP Address Capture w/ Forms - Reduce bad leads or ?

I've seen a lot of postings about folks receiving bogus leads via their website, either from bots, spammers, competitors or tire-kickers filling in totally irrelevant information. While you can't obviously weed out all of this, I was wondering if the following approach might decrease some of it....

What are your thoughts on including a statement with any forms that need to be entered which states that:

"To verify the source of form-based submissions from this site, the Internet Protocol (IP) address through which users are accessing the site and the time of sending is included in the form data. The IP address data is recorded to trace misuse or abuse of these forms and will only be used in these circumstances."

The idea isn't to try and play big brother or discourage folks from submitting valid information but simply to minimize or deter at least some of the abuse that occurs.

Thoughts?
