I guess that he just forgot to add his signature with the link before posting his first (oldest) message. He replies to a message from 2001. If you search for the text you will find it on perlmonks.org.

The second message text is copied from pdfscripting.com.

The third message is a reply to a message from 2008 and has nothing to do with the topic. He just copied the first sentence from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Server_Pages[^].

So he copies text from somewhere after probably searching for some keywords related to the topic.

My conclusion: Report member as spammer, messages with the links as spam, and the first message as abusive (plagiarized).
