Username is suspicious, just check out Incete and Monson on Wikipedia. Worth watching:

On a scale of one to ten, with ten being "this is spam, nuke it!", I say this is a 4. I'm reasonably suspicious...

Anybody have any idea why the same thing was posted twice (two and three post above), at the same time, and I can't delete it? :?

Nothing on this one, SFS or google.
Name and time on the bb makes spammy sense tingle though.
Please watch.

Web site link is a Russian travel site and it actually links to an XML-file. (Script probably srewed up when making the profile.)
From Kuwait, with Russian website and mix of Cyrillic and Latin letters.
Safe to kill.

Anyone know how the bots actually do that.

Right enough, it joined yesterday morning. I don't know: presumably there's an option when you join not to make yourself public. It's new to php3; I imagine it's there for the cripplingly shy and a certain flavour of spambot. If we can turn it off, I'd be in favour. I haven't seen a single non-spam decloaker yet.

Ah, never though of that functionality being the possible culprit. I agree, turn it off.

ICQ profile is a dud.
Think this one is safe to kill.
