The site driving spam below led me to this "answer": Delete Temporery Internet files from system in through C# windows application[^]
From this: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=7934090[^]
Which consists of "trtr" and was posted a year after the question was asked...his sole contribution in four years... Sigh | :sigh:

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I've been seeing quite a lot of (mainly) QA answers to old questions that seem to consist of just running fingers across a keyboard.

Most of them have been deleted by the poster after a suitable "please don't do this" nudge. But it does seem to be a strange thing to want to do in the first place. I'm thinking they're testing whether or not they can post and assuming that "old" questions will not be examined

Sigh | :sigh:

His only interaction with the site was to post an answer (since deleted) to an old QA question. The answer was little more than a link to his blog.

Can you please change that link to the View.aspx link?
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11296662[^]
Reason: due to a bug, your link redirects to the user mayankTripathi which has the same member name as the spammer, but a different capitalization. Will report in Bugs & Suggestions.

Black magic, it seems (according to Google).

Simply put, Baba again.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
