Comment(by mikeperry):

 You're right. In my rage, I forgot that the same captcha url format is
 present for news, images, etc... Otherwise I'd totally do it. I really
 can't stand that 403 message, and nothing is worse than pulling the lever
 on having to solve 3 captchas or just getting outright banned. It's like
 the worst slot machine ever... I'd rather play "The Lottery".
