Question: self-promotion on other people's open-source software website?

I recently posted some scripts on my blog (match.py a Python script that calculates the RMSD of PDB structures). It's a little esoteric, but I thought someone out there might find it useful. Here's the rub. Hours after posting it, I got a comment. When I read the comment, I was rather surprised - it was someone advertising a program that does the same thing as mine. The question I want to ask, do you think this is kosher?
