It is to 'beat' some of the spam crushers.. randomly generated characters.

This is the second time I've seen this mentioned as an anti-anti-spam technique. How are a bunch of random characters at the end of a spam post supposed to throw off anything?

By the way, the technique doesn't appear to be foolproof. I see the replies to "sexxxx alert," but not the original spam message.

Good question Benjamin, I don't know how it's supposed to throw it off. I mean, my whole post is random letters!
