Lucee (or our version of java, or something) hates captcha. I see three possible approaches.

1. Fix our captcha generator. I'm not terribly interested in this, I think it'd be a lot of ongoing work (particularly in a clustered environment) for little benefit.
2. Plug in to https://developers.google.com/recaptcha
3. Implement a super-simple 'captcha' with a string, which I've done for the blacklist removal form. i don't see a lot of evidence of bots trying to break our captcha, I think this is sufficient for our needs, I'll get started unless someone has a compelling reason to fall back to (2).

2 or #3 work!

Closing - we can change this to recaptcha if we start getting spam in annotations.
