Body: <p>When setting up a profile for people to subscribe to a newsletter, in the 'Settings' area next to the Recaptcha box there's a blue help bubble which says <em>'Do not enable this feature if you are using this profile as an HTML Form Snippet embedded in a non-CiviCRM web page. reCAPTCHA requires dynamic page generation. Submitting a stand-alone form with reCAPTCHA included will always result in a reCAPTCHA validation error.'</em> Is this really the case?  I noticed some answers on here telling people to add Recaptcha to profiles to avoid spam.</p>

Comments.Text: ok. yep that makes sense. am pretty sure we once did an embed from a d7 webform to an external site, so we just used ThemeKey to deliver a completely blank theme for the hosting site, so the embed did have any evidence of coming from another site.
