Keep avant garde internet tidy campaign

I got fed up with seeing multiple announcements for events I could never go to, and wrote some rules to follow when pushing my own events:
link
I'm going to try pasting them here:
* we will never post more than once about an event in any forum
* we will never market an event to any forum which is not open to such posts
* we will never post to our own mailing lists about an event more than once, unless there is important news about it (ie venue change, extra person added to the bill)
* we will never post a message to any forum with the subject “reminder” or “last call”
* we will never apologise for crossposting, as if we did it by mistake
* we will never send you a follow up mail about an event you didn’t go to
* we will never add someone to our mailing list without their permission
* in short, if you want to be sure about hearing of our events, sign up to our mailing lists or rss/atom feeds, then we can stop bothering everyone else.
It seems this got a couple of people's backs up. I'm not sure why, it seems common sense to me. I don't think putting on a strange music event excuses you from acting responsibly, even if you lose money at it... And posting multiple times just makes you look desperate.
Recently I've relaxed about promoting events. I never print fliers any more (waste of paper), and just send out one, well timed announcement. I haven't noticed any drop off in attendence, and am happy if I'm avoiding annoying people... But maybe others think differently.
