I've been going to the four or five groups I joined tonight to
post a message introducing my cats, but I probably shouldn't
do that here. I guess I didn't understand that it wasn't
proper for a new member to mention a blog about their
cats. Again, I apologize, and since my membership is causing
some discomfort, I will unsubscribe from the group.

Actually, it is your clueless attempt to inject a commercial sales
attempt into the group.

There is nothing wrong with ANYONE mentioning their cat-based blog
here, new or otherwise. If the URL is to an actual cat based blog,
and not to a sales brochure, that is great. If you have a cat based
blog, and it has a link to your sales page, that is great. If the
URL, or your posts here are nothing more than an attempt to sell us
something, we generally get ****ed off at your blatant disregard for
the main focus of the group - our cats.

It is good that you have cat related artwork. I wish you luck. But we
are not a captive market to be exploited in your attempts to find
cheap advertising.

Please feel free to introduce your cats, and be part of our community.
Feel free to put a .sig on your cat related posts, saying "we have cat
artwork at http://blah.blah.com" if you like. Some of us may even
check it out.

Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

Ditto everything Mark said. It didn't appear you wanted to talk about your
cats, it appeared you wanted to sell us stuff. Since this is a
non-commercial newsgroup that's considered SPAM and is not welcome.
