   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?
