Cam you please send me your direct email off-list? I need to ask you
about getting an id removed from the NJ-Tech-div list. I do NOT have the
password for the ID in question.<br>

Tracy, The CAPTCHA you are seeing I don't believe is one of the new
<br>
ones that have been talked about. First, the one that says I am not
<br>
a robot has been around a while, and the article says the new one is
"hidden."<br><br>
I could be wrong, but we might want to be sure before we start <br>
accusing people of bad stuff!<br><br>
