Hi Bruce,
I am happy that you enjoy programming, but I don't really see the
purpose of announcing every single code snippet on C.L.L - they are
not that interesting. If you have questions, you should ask them
here, but otherwise those who are interested in the code snippets can
just subscribe to your RSS feed.

Tamas,
I must confess, you do have a valid point. There's a lot of fluff and
nonsense floating around in c.l.l. already without me adding to it.
Mind you, how are those who are interested in subscribing to my RSS
feed going to know that it's out there to be subscribed to if I don't
advertise its existence?
Maybe I should just stick to bothering the amazingly patient folk at
comp.lang.misc
Kind regards,
Bruce.

Well, you have already posted twice, so those who are interested would
know about it, wouldn't they?
You could argue that this does not apply to newcomers. In that case,
one could generally suggest the feed to planet.lisp.org. However, I
don't think your blog qualifies to be of general interest - at least I
don't find that I am learning anything from it (this does not imply
anything bad of course, only that your examples do not display
anything interesting from a programmer's point of view).
However, you could advertise your blog on newLisp forums instead.

Inviting people to visit blogspot sites is spam, even if it appears to be
on topic.
It's almost exactly the same thing like ``CHEAP REPLICA WATCHES'' or ``N1KE
SHOES''.

Almost exactly but not quite. I've been running Code-a-holic since
2005. Aside from a bit of Google AdSense (in a vain attempt to
generate a little extra income) there's nothing about cheap replica
watches and Nike shoes there.
Kind regards,
Bruce.

Blog is product related to Lisp, just like implementations,
programming tools, books or conferences are previously
announced on this newsgroup.
My guess is that people who protest actually dislike
Newlisp and try to bully you out. It is another reason
to continue.

Yes, the CommuneLisp hyenas pretend that they own this group.

A good compromise, to make it clear that spam is not your intent, would be
to include the code itself in your message, and not just a link to it.

Thus turning comp.lang.lisp into a weblog? I suppose the compromise
there would be not to include the entire blog posting, but enough to
assure readers that the link is not dangerous.
Alternatively, everyone could just get used to the fact that there's
this weirdo in Australia called Bruce Axtens who keeps putting links
to his weblog here every time he posts something about newLISP.
comp.lang.ada, comp.lang.fortran and the other language lists I haunt
have almost got to that point.
Kind regards,
Bruce.

As long as what you're posting has some relevance (and I while I don't
*like* newLISP, I think it's relevant to c.l.l) and you engage in the
conversations your posts provoke, this is a much, much healthier
approach than just posting the subject line and a URL.

Okay, I think I can live with that.
