Hello Wilfred!

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?
