The link has nothing to do with the question. Does anyone know what his deal is?
Here's an example:

"Man" is a spambot, but it points out a flaw in Yahoo Answers. A person can get to level 7 without an ounce of sense, just be answering enough questions. In the bot's case, the answers are perfectly terrible, since they are all the same and if you follow the URL you my catch a virus. And yet as I write this it has 14 "Best Answers". Voted by?
Of course, I can't answer questions that fast, and I like to be helpful, so it's going to take me a lot longer to get to level 7.

He is sending a website with a virus so do not open it....
and he is point gaming, You can see this by being on Level 6 within a short period of time. I think he wants all our computers to get a virus and crash.

Man appears to be a bot that loads every time a question is answered. I assume Yahoo is looking into it. I'm staying away. I checked it out once. No apparent damage so far, but we will see.

It's a bot (robot) program that automatically answers every dang question posted online, thereby INCREASING his total score. Yahoo will catch onto this and probably close his account.

yep.. to all of the above. Plus... Yahoo won't yank his ticket in spite of at least 3000 abuse filings just today.
(Everbody... do a virus scan if you ever do visit his site. Cootie city.. computer wise)

It may be some type of virus. I would strongly suggest not to click on any of his links. Just ignore him.

I clicked the link earlier. So far nothing happened. Hopefully it stays that way.
