As Jonathan Wakely suggested, I think that "Tae Wong" is a spammer,
and is adding links to these messages in hopes of boosting their
ranking numbers. Either that, or he or she is trying to remove these
links because they are now detected as spam and are decreasing the
ranking of the web pages they mention.
