malware tip links in sidebar lack context

In the sidebar of the main Metafilter site, there's a Feb 21st entry* reading, in total: brainmouse reminds us: "Check out deezil's and samsara's profiles as really fantastic starting points." Say what now? That blurb would benefit from a few more words, like "Concerned about malware on your computer? brainmouse reminds us ..." (* yes, I'm slow)

FPP for skeezy malware marketing

Should there really be a FPP that's really a rather thinly veiled marketing attempt for some rather skeezy malware?
