I'm no netiquette expert, but wouldn't posting a bunch of unsolicited links to your fiction also be spam? Would the guy have been better received if he had simply said "I'm submitting my creative writing for your perusal, let me know what you think"? Is he merely clueless, or does he get off on negative feedback?

Also, ever notice that there's never more than one insufferably annoying new guy at a time? I sometimes wonder if someone's doing a psychology experiment on us, pretending to be a moron and then gauging our reactions. ("us" referring to newsgroups in general, not just the cellar).
