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? -- ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.58 * Origin: A turtle that surfs the dark web.
