Chris has a number of reasons for that, but I cannot be arsed to look for the post he made about it right now (going to bed soon). From what I remember, bots index these links, and they show up in search results. They also give spammers more visibility in those results because of the keywords in the title.

Just use the URL itself as the text, or something like 'Message' or 'Messages' (for the user's message list). I use the second way myself. I also use 'Luser' to link to the (l)user account.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
