"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ
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."

Honestly 1600 views is not that many
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.
What, Me Worry?
I didn't read it the first time either. Who has time for that stuff?

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.
. You mean Dickey videos....
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.

Credentialism is inherently feminine.
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.
