Could forum.dlang.org remember how many captchas I filled out?

I login here, not with them. They can't tell who I'm logged in 
here as, I would assume. I can't expect them to make an exception 
for me if I'm not even logging in with them.

Also, they're a huge, faceless corporation that heuristically 
targets spammers worldwide, and I don't like the idea of my 
activity being profiled worldwide.

They do heuristic profiling anyway. They're not supposed to be 
relied upon as an ultimate authority on who's a spammer. A simple 
counter for how many captchas solved in a given login is way more 
reliable than pinging them for the answer every time.
