Carl: I disagree. Using your blog to post (what I assume was a) self-serving press release is just as bad as a spam Viagra ad. In fact, its arguably worse, in that the Viagra ad is at least overtly spam, but a press release is more apt to be confused as somehow endorsed by the host bloggerthat is, by you. So Im using your press release comment incident on my own blog as an example of bad karma.
