Never occurred to me.

If you click the link it forwards to Amazon, so my guess is it's some sort
of affiliate link. Rather underhanded if that's the case. If it _isn't_ then
I'm wrong and I'll apologise.

It is - they're showing up in a lot of the groups I read. The
affiliate link is buried in a series of redirects, so it's hard to
see, but it's there.
