I don't think there is anything wrong with on point spam....
That is, if it is germain to the discussion.
Or, in the case of "Hi here I am," one would expect to see a spam the first visit. It's Ok if the person then stays and contributes.
Sort of a modern day exchanxe of business cards at the first meeting.

Ultimately though, it's Gonzo's playground. What he says, goes.
(Just make sure you get your donuts FIRST, before he disappears with the donuts and the chicks. I'm STILL waiting for the promised free donuts.)
