Hello Wilfred!



AA>> The actual site that triggered the captcha was https://

AA>> www.caranddriver.com/ ..to a specific article. It doesn't

AA>> seem to be doing that anymore right now.  Maybe the

AA>> cookie system remembers me now.



WvV> I clicked around a bit, but can't trigger it either...



OK.. here's what I think has happened.  I was reading a

newsletter that ultimately would steer me to a story/site.

But, before it did that, it would go through some intermediary

(for tracking purposes?) ..that's were the captcha would

appear, and THEN take me to the caranddriver article.



But I don't have the original newsletter with the initial

synopis of the stories and links anymore.



I'd swear that when I was poking around the caranddriver site,

the same press'n'hold showed up a couple more times.



Anyway.. it seems that the standard click-here-with-a-check-

mark type captchas can be fooled with automation.  And this

"press'n'hold" strategy is away to foil that?
