I saw something similar in another mailing list today. There's an emerging trend to post seemingly on-topic questions or answer existing questions and insert a URL to some site adjacent to specific keywords in order to generate a sort of "organic SEO" to fool search engines into ranking up specific results.
I'll delete the offending post and block the subscriber who sent it, but probably need to remove your post from the archive as well since you quoted the same URL in your reply.
ack on the deletion of my email. i was going to reach out to you separately on irc anyway to see if this was a one off or if there were similar mails i did not see like this. thanks fungi for keeping us in the loop. hopefully this is a one off and not a pattern that will become problematic to moderate.
