Ask him for a reference.

I don't think it's a failed spam, because he already posted questions[^] before which did have a very similar content, including those links, but they didn't show as clickable links because he put it into a code block. He probably just forgot about that this time* . See this older question: How do add transition elements to my homepage?[^]. Also the fact that he accepted answers and commented[^] on answers (in a polite way) makes me believe that he's not a spammer.
* I edited his question and put it into a code block.

Your explanation would work for me. "Herbs" and "Secrets of Beauty" could be the link mistakenly carried out from the code block. In this form, they make relative links, naturally leading to non-existing CodeProject pages. Anyway, if people would disable his account, I would blame him more that myself. We already have disguised spam like that and we already have links mistakenly pointing to the non-existing CodeProject pages. After all, people sometimes pay for stupid mistakes taken with best intentions. If something looks like spam, swims like a duck…
(Don't get me wrong: I think that so-called "duck test" is a total trash.)
Anyway, thank you for pointing it out.

"Is it possible with standard tools SQL to solve this problem?
I read about different utilities which restore information from this file. Is it possible to use them to recover the data I need? And which ones would you recommend?"
Sounds like a setup to me. Agree?

Saw it earlier. In fact it was me (I?) who formatted the text so that it was readable.
Did think it might have been a set up but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. 5 hours used to be quite long before the payload (but they seem to have become cleverer these days - think Chinese spam with the accounts set up a few days earlier).
It's on my "keep an eye on this" list but for the moment, I think it might be genuine ignorance

Alright, I removed the link for now to avoid premature reports.
