.....and my readers LOVED it! It's also one of the many reasons I was and remain, their most popular and read columnist ever. Remember how big a weekly paper that was in size when I wrote for them? Well, take a look at its pathetic little size today. So sad.....

Anyway, back then I used to expose how none of the other gurus would EVER write about their losing unless they would also calm their readers' fears with tales of "but don't worry fans--I just won X amount, so I'm OK everyone!" You would NEVER see or hear about losing streaks without the feel-good caveat inserted. It just wouldn't't happen.

So is it any wonder arcimedes intermittently comes onto LVA claiming long hard losing streaks, but ONLY if he incorporates a dose of feel-good winning along with it? That my friends, is a big red flag in the amount of nonsense AP's spew. They just can't STAND the thought of other anonymous posters thinking they have lost, which, of course, is what these addicts really do.
