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?
