More appliance themed spam from user twkeel in the General S/W Library to be cleaned and user removed.
Just a guess, but it appears that bots can make accounts and then post gibberish (fortunately it appears benign).
Maybe the account sign-up should include a captcha field to confuse bots. If so, there is a type that requires the user actually do math to proceed. I've heard (but never seen) that there is an RPN option, which would seem appropriate (thus the problem is '1 2 +' requiring reply of 3 rather than the droll '1 + 2'.
