Default Recipe hit and run posters

What is with the recipe hit and run posters that are spamming the place? Seems like every few days there is a post about a few recipes from somewhere with the poster having one or two posts.

What about marcmanaois? Seems like his posts are only a thinly disguised way of touting his own website.

thinly?

he/she (?) has posted the same two receipts in multiple cooking forums - it would all appear directed at drumming up traffic to "the site"

there's been any number of similar / prior incidences - different site builders, same tactic.
