Assuming your excerpt is accurate, it's either a bad joke, a scam on 
dumb users (possibly by equally dumb operators) or a sting.

My $.02 worth.  (Hey, imagine a day when eca$h for two cents is posted
with a comment like that?)

Deranged and cpunx,

I figure the digicrime site for provocateurs.
Ignore them and they'll go away, or what?

Um guys, it's a joke.  Check out the rest of the digicrime home page.
Last time I looked at it it was pretty funny, and quite obvious to
even a paranoid security weenie like me.

If so it's not a very good one. Like the earlier similar one last year,
he's probably going to attract unwelcome attention and end up on some lists
he'd just as soon not be on.

It's the same principle by which airline personnel take bomb jokes very
seriously. Make one and your trip will be rather longer and less direct
than you expected.
