Now I'm still confused.

Thanks, this is the first useful piece of advice I have gotten here.

But I can't get onto websites that have it either! At all.

Okay, but it doesn't do much good if I can't get onto the website at all because it refuses to believe that I'm human.

Modern lumber is planed, so some of that difference is because of losses from that. If you open up the walls of a house built 100+ years ago, you see these thick rough wall studs that never went through a planer. Even with shrinking, it's close to being actual 2" x 4".

At one time a 2 x 4 really was 2" x 4". Very old houses will have these in the walls, not planed and quite rough and splintery. I think I still have splinters from the 1913 bungalow I renovated more than 30 years ago.

People are people all over the world. I wonder if there has been any research into the psychology of people who get scammed this way? They seem so blind to what is really obvious to their friends and relatives.
