I think, for me, the problem is that this is a community and the goal is 
for us to participate in that community. Sending a blog post is like 
spamming a list you may appear to have little interest in sustaining -as- a 
community.

It kinda feels like we're just a Holy Sock. LOL.

I think it's fine if you plan on actually contributing, but if it's just a 
place you're going to use in order to get everyone to start visiting your 
blog, it's just disrespectful to doug and the entire list. It took Doug a 
lot of work to build this. One of the things he did was actually 
_participate in_ other lists, dropping his sig, as a way to get people 
interested. In other words, he helped others out, contributed to the life 
of other lists, and that was how he paid.

It's 'free'.
