Hi. Brian either has this so-called "feature" as part of his e-mail service or as part of some sort of anti-spam software. It's actually been around for years; I've run into it from time to time, and when that happened I simply verified that I was real and went on my merry way, after which I could send mail to its intended recipient. No big deal, but, as someone said, it is annoying. At least this "feature" doesn't involve dealing with a captcha. Captchas are really annoying, even for sighted people. There's probably a special place in Hades reserved for the guy who invented the captcha, <chucle>. Cheer!! Tom
