Here's a guy that's got a better connection than I do. He's made 3 more posts while I am sitting here getting errors every time I try and respond.

He's a new member who is promoting some penny stock picking site and he has made 8 spam posts in half an hour and shows no sign of slowing down.

These people are professionals and know their posts are going to be deleted and the account possibily closed but it is worth 60 bucks to them to get their name in front of investors for a few minutes. There are many ways they make money off of the little investor.

Sample post:

Want the real SCOOP on "PENNY STOCKS"?

Go to WWW.PENNY??.COM and get a company TIMELINE on XXXX. This will give a complete company history along with all Ticker Symbol Changes. Most indepth, Unbiased "penny stock" site on the web.

Just launched yesterday. Weekly CASH giveaways!1

(he is/was posting under the name... porschekid2000

Is it any wonder that the amount of posts SI is getting is going downhill when it takes someone 15 minutes just to make one little post turning in a spammer.
