No, it's not a joke.  It's very good advice.  Salting adds security to
the hash.

One of the tricks I use on all password hashing (even more secure ones)
is to use the userid (or at least part of it) and a random string
(different on each site) along with the password to hash the password
(even though I don't use weak hashes).

This way the same password for two different users on one site end up
with different hashes, as well as the same user on two different sites.
