Nah, don't think that really turned 'em on much.

Oh, Bill, you should try downloading the echolink app directly to your 
iPhone.  Not sure where the captcha is coming from, possibly when you 
register for Echolink?  If so, if you have the Firefox web browser, you can 
download Webvisum from webvisum.com and it will solve those captchas for you 
automatically.  Try to get Firefox 4, if possible, as Webvisum will work 
with it without installing the compatibility reporter tool which you need 
with Firefox version 5.
