TypePad- I'm getting killed by spam here!

Months ago we turned on the TypePad CAPTCHA because of the massive amounts of spam comments that jerks were posting.  People have complained about that but we don't have hours a day to spend dealing with the crap that gets posted without it.  Yesterday it came to my attention that the CAPTCHA wasn't working and I turned in a help ticket to TypePad reporting that fact.  I was informed late yesterday that there was a problem with CAPTCHA that had been fixed and they tested a comment on jkOnTheRun and said it worked fine.  My own tests showed otherwise and I've reported again that it is still not working.  The proof is how I have spent an inordinate amount of time dealing with spam comments that have been appearing continually since yesterday.  I have deleted in excess of 100 spam comments and this is just from a couple of sources.  Come on, TypePad!  Get this resolved, you're killing me.  Time I could be spending blogging is spent dealing with this mess.
