It stems from the days of oil snake salesmen and huckster around the turn of the previous century. Men who had little shame in showing up at a hanging or a funeral to promote themselves and their wares at inappropriate times and inappropriate places. Posting MY songs on a Klaatu forum may not be viewed as appropriate by some. But I have no shame in doing so because I feel I am promoting amongst friends. Still...it's a presumption.
