I've taken a look at this and can confirm that you have a pending
registration that has not been completed.
You should be receiving a replacement account activation email shortly.

As the CAPTCHA is checked at the initial registration stage and not
the account activation stage, you should not have any issues
completing the activation of your account.

At this time, due to the levels of abuse we experience I'm afraid
Google reCAPTCHA is the only viable option for preventing spammers
from registering and creating a bigger problem for our Community,
although we do intend to look into alternatives in the future.
