You are mistaken. In the year I've been blogging, I have never once sent an e-mail flogging my blog. If you received one, please forward it to me at flatironnyc@gmail.com. I'd like to see for myself. Thanks for the heads up.
I wish you wouldn't spam people with your "check out my http://theflack.blogspot.com website" emails. It's not very nice or useful to the people receiving the email.
"Ironically, the organization that fed The Times the story is knee deep in the use of public relations tactics to advance its cause. Why isn't this news?"
Because the process -- pitching a story -- shouldn't be in the news. (Unless you write a very bad pitch to the media.)
Though, your point is well-taken. While PR pros -- and amateurs, I suppose -- should stay out of the limelight, the pitching process and the why behind it can be just as interesting as what is being pitched.
