Thanks. I did know what a captcha was. Since Sean Terry called it a "capture
code," I wanted to see if it was something different or not, or if he meant
captcha, and just called it the wrong thing.

Ok.
Thanks for the explanations.
A capcha code is an image with distorted and blurred visual text that
sighted people have to decipher and then type into the edit box.
Websites have this to prevent programmed robots and macros from
creating thousands of accounts, basically to prevent spam.
