Sure, why not? If they don't think it's appropriate, they can toss it.

That tell me that other people will be even more likely to view this kind
of post to the newsgroups as inappropriate. So I have to recommend against
"advertising" it like that....

Sure; so long as you're posting something else. That is, when you answer a
question about OO, you can say "and by the way, this is one of the things
that Damian will tell you all about at blah blah blah see the URL below."
It's _much_ less objectionable when your message has some other content,
so it's not just an advertisement.

Perl Mongers' meetings. I'd say that there would average at least one
interested person per meeting. 

Good luck with it!
