    I would like to point out that the words from the anonymous LarryS on the printed page of these forums will exist in perpetuity. They are a form of self publishing. No doubt about it.

    Of course, the frightening thing, is that a generation or so down the road, anyone combing archives will be able to apply forensics and put a real name and existence to the currently anonymous banter.

    Now, do I really need to underline the absurdness of someone who is an impressively high volume self-publisher on this and many other forums denigrating people who self-publish by shelling out a couple of hundred dollars? Time is money, as they say, and LarryS's investments in self-publishing on this and other forums represent an impressive investment.

    Self publishing, after all, isn't defined by spending or making money. It's defined by self-publishing. And that is exactly what LarryS is doing here and elsewhere.

    I don't know about leaps toward immortality, but I'm sure generations to come will be impressed by LarryS's certainty of opinion. Even his certainty of opinion that his own self publishing is an incredible waste.
    redietz is one of the poor souls of the world that declares they are a "professional" gambler, sportspicker, house sitter, walmar cashier. Yes indeed he is a professional. And he can also crow according to his view of the world that he is also "publsihed..because he fucking posts on message boards.

    what a life. A crack addict that plays craps in the dark alleys of the inner city USA who also once posted on a website 10 years ago can call himself a published professional. Because after all gamblers can declare themselves a professional, and anyone who has ever posted on a website can call themselves a published author.

    This is the world redietz and his ilk live in.

    Welcome to his world

    yes LarryS is a published author, with thousands of publications.........

    not only is he one of the sad sacks that claim he coulda woulda shoulda had a book published, but he is going to live forever as people in the next generations read his posts 50 years later, 100 years later as his name will be immortilized. How sad is that thought. Its like 100 years after his death there will be a wikipedia spread on him.

    what a self absorbed world the "professional gamblers" live in. they are all "professionals" and "published"......what an erudite group
    Yes, there are professionals in gambling that get published. Then there are poor souls like larry who can't so they do nothing but criticize. A very poor soul indeed. You've gone back to your old Gambling Forum habits larry. So predictable.

    Alan the Troll you are so predictable. You didn't get 1600 views over night. I was a complete nobody. You were a known journalist. And now you are a known idiot. You must understand, people watch Rob the same way they watched the Anna Nicole Smith death. People watch trainwrecks, Singer and Smith out of morbid fascination. And you, Alan, will go down is history as "the guy that put that quack on youtube."

    It is for a complete nobody that didn't expect to get 10 views. You can't just google something and come up with a hit for vpFREE. It's a closed yahoo group. But what surprised me was how many people were following me from reddit. I had never been on reddit. How many followers to you guys have?

    If I had taken that writing gig with Henry Tamburin I could have then falsely claimed to be an investigative journalist like Rob did.

    I'm still waiting for LarryS to explain why posting on this section (currently with 118 views) isn't a form of self publishing. Self-publishing, after all, isn't about who paid what or who got paid what. It's about self-publishing. I'm sure he'll have an erudite response as to why someone who loathes self-publishing as he does manages to do so much of it.

    (And I was very disciplined with this response. I didn't even mention that I have been published in various and sundry small things, such as The Humanist and Playbook and Skeptical Briefs and op eds in newspapers and such.)

    To my mind, posting threads and responses to threads on boards such as this doesn't qualify as "self-publishing" because the author is only chiming in, the topic is not his own, he just chimes in.

    A blog or vlog would qualify, as it is the author's thoughts / work in its entirety.

    Growing up I took it to mean paying to have your book published via a vanity press type publisher.

    This is such a stretch that I wonder that it would be better were you drinking. Then, there would be a chance that you could sober up.

    Writing about what you know, in a "vicarious" manner through fictional characters. A different sort of third-person self-reference. But then, you likely still tell yourself stuff like, no, I wouldn't say or do it quite that way (you had better rewrite it again, Mickey.)

    In any event, I half-heartedly suggested, a couple of posts ago, that you might be better to make up everything about someone else. They call that (real) fiction. And I do recall, a few years ago, that you wrote something about you being one of the Freemont St. Raiders, or something like that. Now, it seems more a blur, and that we can't say for sure who is who, and what is what. Is all that stuff a blur to you, too, along with all the drinking?

    I enjoyed Part One. I'll be on the road in a couple of days and will save a part for each day -- make it a serial read.

    I'm attempting to imagine that. Dickey waking up in his car (after trying to impress everyone about how he stays in Motel 6's) with steamy windows & sticky floor mats from his usual morning rosey palmer toss-off, grabbing a quick shave before stumbling into his newest Indian casino with a bar of soap and his lice-infested comb....and all the while coming up with one-liners for his new publication "How I Made It To 65 Without Brains, an Education, A Girlfriend To Clean My Chocolate-Stained Underwear, or a Dental Plan".

    About as far as he'll ever get with a publication....

    yes, and I can get on a soapbox in the park and rant about the trade deficit, and then call myself a "public speaker"
    I can stand on a corner and give people directions if they ask me and I can call myself a "teacher"
    I can pick sports teams to bet daily and I can call myself a "professional"

    its just ways for people who are bereft of credentials to self elevate themselves. Mom and dad let me introduce you to my fiance.....she is a homeless crack addict that gives people directions, has posted on the internet a dozen years ago, and she bets sports with stolen money to support her habit while giving her fellow junkies tips(investment advice). As she stands there picking at her infected sores on her arm and stinking to high heaven, I conclude with....she is the love of my life.....a published author, a professional investment advisor, and a teacher........the trifecta

    SO......NO,,,,,posting on a website does not make you a published author in the eyes of 99.9 percent of rationally thinking people, giving advice on sports pics does not make someone an "investment advisor" and answering someones questions does not make someone a teacher., while pushing buttons on a machine does not anyone a "professional".....its all just bullshit that redietz wants to use to self elevate himself in his own eye.....but he just cant get the rest of the world to buy in.

    I actually have had some things published that would make me a "published author in the eyes of 99.9 percent of rationally thinking people," so thanks for the kudos, LarryS. Much appreciated.

    I'm still trying to figure out how posting on a website forum is significantly different than starting up a website and blogging or paying a vanity press. It's all self-publishing. While surveys are lovely, I'm sure the erudite among us could explain the significant and dramatic differences between starting threads on forums, blogging on websites, and self publishing e-books.

    Self publishing a book or vanity publishing gives one a credential of a "self published author".........which is a credential that is worht shit, just as the guy at the meadowlands racetrack sold cheaply printed xeroxed copies of his dailypicks.....he was also a self published author. Self publishing is meaningless...just as meaningless as posting on the internet.
    Its all totally self inflating nonsense when someone calls themselves a "published author" and leaves out it was a self published book.
    Self publishing requires no expertise, no ability to spell, or write cogent sentences.....all you need is a thousand or 2 ...and a computer program. There are printing houses that will print any crap you give them. A crack addict can get access to a computer, and type incoherent pages and if they have money...it will be published.

    Its like masturbation compared to real sex with a hot woman. You can brag about howmany orgasms you had in your life...but if they all came when you were alone in your mons basement...its not worth bragging about.

    self publishing is nothing to brag about. Its self indulgent trash.
