Why reply to these messages in the first place?  They get deleted from the 
server(s) within hours, anyone st00pid enough to follow these links deserves 
what they get.

Supernews although (along with Uni-Berlin) is one of the best NS to delete
bogus messages and "hipcrime floods".

I know, I know, I've just done exactly that

But some people read NG and have no idea.
The warning about not posting a link when replying to "obscure" messages
is a valid one.
