Hi Pharoah,
Unfortunately they are spammers.  We remove a few spammed posts a day. We wanted to keep the forum open to make it more inviting and less inconvenient for John's readers to post about the book, questions, comments, concerns or just to share their experiences, without having to join and wait for approval.  
However, it is getting quite irritating.  We do apologize for that  Undecided

Aye, there is so much spam these days. I don't want to have to approve members before they can post, anybody should be able to come here and post freely and without delay. I think it was Benjamin Franklin who said, "Those who would sacrifice freedom for anti-spamming procedures deserve neither."

I think they are bots, though. It would be too much work for a spammer to visit all the sites and post his messages manually. So, they should be easy to outsmart. All we need to do is to change the names of the sign-up components slightly. Hmm...
