If you need to reach a site for business purposes, and an automated 'bot denies access, there may be a human review process. However, you cannot ignore the temporal component. If you needed the info in a timely manner, running through a manual bypass process can easily take too long (ever had to do this with a Fortune 500 company where response time to such requests is usually measured in weeks?) for the goal at hand. My experience is that this is the norm, not the exception. Humans may at times be reasonable (though the course of human history leads me to conclude otherwise). Corporate policies and procedures are rarely reasonable. Your conclusion depends on so many assumptions that it is more idle speculation than anything else. ;-) Andrzej Jan Taramina Chaeron Corporation: Enterprise System Solutions http://www.chaeron.com
