Do you understand now about the spammers?

This is a question that I would have had torn down like the others. But I left it up for illustration:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aup7L...

The spammer goes through with one set of accounts to post the redundant questions, lately mostly about spy cameras.

He goes through with other accounts to answer with the website he's promoting. Soon after her goes through to make that best answer.

Does anyone here understand, doubt, or not understand that?

Update:

The "copy and paste" creeps are harder to hunt down. There are tricks the "spy camera" ones haven't learned yet.

Update 2:

The spammers are not idly passing the time. Actually hunting them is how I idly pass the time. What they do is their sleazy business.

    Never thought of someone doing that. They must have too much time on their hands.

    Oh yes, right up there with, 'Canon or Nikon ?'

    Only marginally less annoying than the replies that tell you to, 'Copy and past.'
