BS: Would this be spamming?

I know that spamming is promoting a site for my own selfish reasons, but what if I had a site and I thought it was really cool that I had my own site and I wanted to show it off. Also, the site has nothing to do with music.

Is this spamming and unwelcome?

A single message wouldn't be spamming - doing it repeatedly or posting something similar after having been told such a message was unwelcome would be spamming.

I have read messages telling other posters that they were spamming when they told people about their sites. Please don't ask for an example.

Actually I guess I've answered my own question, haven't I?

oh please, anna.....

your thinking too much about this.... and feeling too guilty about it, too.......

just post it.... if anyone says anything to you, big deal.... the only people that matter are max and joe, and they would just delete it if they didn't like it....

The other thing; "spamming" usually requires multiple messages - either crossposting to a number of forums/lists or multiple messages -

just because someone SAYS it is spamming doesn't mean that it is.

Just as claiming to have been flamed doesn't necessarily mean that flaming has occurred.

Well, it starts: "SOLID BRASS ELEPHANT - A gigantic elephant trumpets his arrival as he thunders through the jungle! "

That's defiitely music related! (Now if it had been an allegedly singing horse it might have been a touch controversial...)

Well, an extremely cool site I agree. I think the elephant looks the best value, nice and big for the price. What intrigues me, as a Brit type of person, is the phrase "holiday season". isthat American for the Christmas period, or are the metal angel candle holders more suitable for summer, which is what we would term the holiday seson over here? And there didnt seem to be any Spam for sale at all.

Anna, a lovely site-nice items. One thing-the yellow boxes with prices are not readable. The white fades into the background. Thought you'd want to know. Hope you have great luck with it.Slainte. Mick

Greg: In the US "holiday season" denotes Christmas. The season starts with Halloween and ends with Father's Day. ;-)

Happy holidays,
Michael
