Well as a writer I would like to be able to let people know of SF publications I have. I do not see a problem if you are telling me about your publication or CJ Cherryh's, it's not like we are advertising Shamwows. So my vote is yes, so long as the material is SF/fantasy related.

Did you poll the membership before you started sending self-promotional email to the list? Best, Glenn so in all fairness to the membership, I will do what Glenn did not: Ask what you think. I've gotten a few emails from people who wanted to know more details than my fatigued brain remembered to put in, which is the only reason I sent multiple postings. Normally I am not a Bloody Viking. I apologize for the repeat postings. I do note in passing that I am unaware of any objections to other members seeking gainful employment via this mailing list-- which is what I did too.

First, by way of motivation, I should like to point out that by signing up for the BASFA list, I do not feel that I have signed up for the Matthew Joseph Harrington announcement list. To be truthful, I consider your messages more than a little spam-like. With that in mind, I would like to suggest that you get your own mailing list. Once you do that, I don't anyone would complain if you sent an email to the BASFA list saying "Here's how to subscribe to my new announcement list...". From then on, your announcements would only go to those that want them without irritating (and I know I am not the only BASFAn irritated by this) those that don't.

The reading of String, from Man-Kzin Wars XII, will occur at 3 PM, Saturday, June 6, at Barnes & Noble, in the Pruneyard, at the corner of Campbell and Bascom, in Campbell, California, USA. Anyone who has a book signed will get additional material: annotations of my stories so far, details of how they developed, and general inside info.
