Don't you hate CAPTCHA?

I think CAPTCHA should be changed to GOTCHA. I once tried to complete a survey and I couldn't enter the "random contest to win $5,000" until I entered the CAPTCHA letters, nmbers and other gibberish that defied imagination. Because I had to prove I wasn't a ROBOT! Well, readers, I kept failing to read what Edward Snowden must have created for the company. Yes, I tried hard. Although, being a C+ student in high school and college didn't help a bit. There were letters with a common horizontal bar, numbers that melted away, sufficiently so you could only guess. Really. After 32 tries with that many different CAPTCHA displays. And to add insult to injury, I was asked to TRY AGAIN. Well, I did. Again, again and again, etc. No prize money for me. And probably everybody else! This CAPTCHA beast has got to go. We're not morons. We're dedicated and impatient. Here's another bummer with the computer. When I buy a book or CD from amazon.com or eBay. Their ROBOTS follow me home. Yes, their preditors are on my page within seconds after I've made my purchase and checked out. They flash a bunch of books and CDs I might want to buy also. I don't want to buy anything else. So I delete their "seduction pitch" and forget them immediately. But wait. They didn't forget me! Even when I'm seeking information via GOOGLE an ad will pop down or up showing my recent book and CD purchases, along with the same books and CDs they pitched a week earlier! How brash and reprehensible. I urge all sensitive people to boycott the ads' products that continue to stalk you and make pitches for things you are not interested in. That includes hundreds of thousands of companies now employing "dirty tricks." My final rant for today concerns all the bids I receive to leave my TV service, telephone and computer bundle. COMCAST offers an attractive price for their bundle; so does TIME-WARNER, and even COX TV. But there is one great big problem: THEY DO NOT PROVIDE SERVICE IN OUR LOCATION! So, we're stuck with CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS and have been for the past 4 years. Their bundle price starts out around $90 a month and then gradually creeps up to double that in about a year. That's what we're paying now. Did I hear someone call them creeps? -
