I've changed the top of the page to go directly to your event, but... I have a responsibility to my readers to stay completely on topic which over-rides the "presumed intent" of a blog poster. It looked EXACTLY like blog spam and blog spam while much easier to control these days is still a huge nuisance. Blog posting etiquette 101 is <b>stay on topic</b> so when someone just comes and randomly posts something they are immediately labeled a blog spammer. It sounds like in this case it's more likely an overzealous volunteer who hasn't been trained properly OR didn't understand the training. I have people coming to post their business opportunities, telecommuting sites, etc. many of which are good - but that does NOT give them the right to break basic blog etiquette convention. Typically what I do if a resource looks valuable is do a special write-up of it. Todd,
