Isn't this getting a bit spammy?

I'm notifying people as and when the articles are published. I have no control over when they go live. Since I'm currently writing about two a week that's roughly how many of these post will go up each week.

Maybe try making a dedicated thread for all your articles, so that anyone who's interested can find them in one place?

BTW Iain you can edit the "Subject:" folder everytime you add a post to the thread so it'll look like as if you posted a new topic on the forum.

As a nice little side gig to go alongside my day job it is. I enjoy it and it brings in some extra cash. Win-win all round.

There's much worse if he really needs to make extra cash on the side.
Yes, I find clickbait and listicles annoying too but it's not like it is the kind of article one writes when he has better choices on what to write.

Doh, I realised it was that easy as soon as I asked it  :) Oh well, live and learn, plus it is done now

Thank you. My full body of work has just been linked in a separate thread so anyone can take a peak. Very little of it is click-bait listicles. Most of it are actually long-form multi-part article series about deeper subjects.
