the wrong math is what bothers me the most about these spam posts.

Presumably the claim is that $72 is the minimum but sometimes it can be more?

What bothers me more is the logic of spamming HN, which I would imagine must be one of the places least likely to have people falling for that sort of shit.

Someone's probably paid per link they create, independent of the value of that link.

Perhaps spam generation could be disrupted... :-)
