When I want to make a post and I get captcha, I search my post for brackets or triple dots (...) and remove many of them.
Then the post usually goes through.
Thought I'd share the discovery.

The last dozen or so posts I've made that had ellipses ("...") and brackets ("[" & "]"), no "Captcha" occurred for them.

Edit: Including this one!

Yeah it often just goes through, but when it doesn't I usually modify my post and maybe split it up. And when it still doesn't work I take out brackets, then it work in 90% of cases.
Maybe there's no correlation between brackets and getting captcha; it may be because of character count.
But that's what I do, because I can't fill out captchas with my browser.
