How are these trolls benefiting?
A new one popped up today from "pelicaman" wanting to buy a dog.
There's been a couple more where someone asks a generic question about a hypothetical Porsche. Then, of course, is the consonant-heavy user name parroting a line from a previous post. If I click on or answer his question what information is he harvesting?

Someone here explained it to me that there is a 1 pixel jpg in the message that counts as a site hit every time the message is viewed.

By the way, reporting the spam when these individuals post is appreciated, but please don't quote them, it just spreads the infection
