Totally agree. Most forum participants are intensely suspicious of promotional or commercial activity. If you can do it all - I think you have to offer plenty of additional value (eg the dog expert on a dog lovers forum) and check out the community's rules and regulations.
Dropping in, pumping your book and dropping out again won't win you any friends on most forums.
