You've taught me the importance of hyphenation!  Will-he-won't-he?

It is the second Captcha that he has been having issues with, the "I'm not a robot." I have verified it as well:

Dinner with the Parents.  The latest Freevee original, it follows the misadventures of an upper middle class Jewish family (an important plot device) living in a nice suburb within driving distance of Lake Erie.  The plotlines are daffy AF, the name of the show refers to the shenanigans of the first episode only, and there's no real connecting plot.  It's an old-style, episode-to-episode sitcom.  The reason I decided to watch and will watch the last couple episodes when they become available, and why I hope there is another season, is because of the talent.  Michaela Watkins is wonderfully real.  Dan Bakkedahl – aka, Congressman Furlong from Veep – does his shtick.  And Rob Delaney, from the absolutely fantastic series Catastrophe, one of the best yet Amazon original shows, brings the yucks.  Old hand Carol Kane knows her stuff, too.  It's silly, frivolous, and a wonderful time waster.

Important information, this problem would prevent GMG from getting any new members, and people who are blocked from joining have no way to repair the problem (unless they have an acquaintance on GMG).

Indeed. A major bug, it seems.

it appears to be a general bug as when I tried logging out and creating an account I got the same error.

he would like an account again and it appears to be a general bug as when I tried logging out and creating an account I got the same error

All jokes aside, this is really annoying and I hope it gets sorted out asap.

Well, he had several accounts here, and deleted them as frequently as he made them. But I would say, keep on trying, and if the Gods are agreeing he will find himself on GMG again, and as quickly deletes his account....no?            

Yes he has given me his reasons in PM conversations, I've communicated with him for years. Regardless he would like an account again and it appears to be a general bug as when I tried logging out and creating an account I got the same error.
