Aha. I'll be that's it. I use Disconnect (http://disconnect.me) to
keep google, facebook, and twitter from tracking me around the
interwebs (this plugin is highly recommended). I'll bet it is breaking
the connection between the site and google's captcha stuff. I didn't
even think about since it is effectively fire-and-forget. I ran the
gamut with adblock and noscript, but that may be the secret sauce...
I will try and report back.
