The issue seems that one has to wait to solve the captcha. If you 
solve it within 15 seconds or so then the web site think's you 
are flooding. The time measuring should start after we solve the 
captcha successfully not before as it results in preventing quick 
solves from actually sending any messages. It will still prevent 
flooding because it will be in play for the next message, but it 
shouldn't be in play for the first message one sends since it 
prevents real users from posting normally.
