I'd suspect because the chair was the most intelligent of the three.

I didn't was a second of the convention.

There are some newbies who seem to do that because they're used to doing that on other mesage boards.

But where the message text appears to be nonsense, it's usually a spammer in my experience. They just keep going doing nonsense posts until they're PPR'd.

FWIW, a jury left that post stand 3-3. I am appalled at the "Leave It Alone" votes, frankly. I can't believe anyone can be that "context-free" in their thinking. It's disturbing! We have brains for a reason, after all!

The spammer's goal is to get enough of a post count to "blend in" and sell you shit, or give you an innocent looking link that you will click on that will put malware on your computer.

People need to sharpen up and understand that some things really are what they are.
