Default MI5 -- WTF?

I think it's spy code, inspired by the recent release of the TV Show, "The
Company".

@e9g2000prf.googlegroups.com:

Okay, so this MI5 character has spammed almost every newsgroup in
existence. It appears to be computer-generated gibberish, broadcast
across a wide spectrum of 'groups.

Does anyone know what compells someone to do that? Is there a point?

Assuming, for a moment, that the sender believes there *is* a point,
what might it be? Is there a message in the combination of
messages? Is the goal just to **** people off? Does the sender
believe that he will "jam" the internet, and cause it to "fail"?

Or is it the same inexplicable mentality of the vandal, doing damage
for the sake of...doing damage?
