I didn't "jump" on LoL's post. I like what she writes for the most part. I do not like being lectured on a topic I'm knowledgable in by someone that is not, or has not proven that they are. Maybe LoL knows more about poker than i give her credit for, but until she shows that the post I responded to will remain an annoyance to me as it provides little cognative thought and lots of repeating what sounds like a marketing pamphlet.

If I'm a tool it's not for that post.

I basically know zip about poker (although I have read a number of poker books). But we are not discussing poker; we are discussing the 2p2 publishing business and website about which I do know more than the average 2p2er. I do know that TT knows about publishing and Nolanfan about pr, but I am not aware, Evan, of what your background is.

BTW I do know about writing and editing. I taught tech writing and editing for 30 years and have made my living in that field in the past. I have also authored/edited a fair number of articles and books myself. I used to teach about printing, paper, type selection, book design, binding, etc., to tech writing and editing students, so I know something about the manufacturing end of the publishing business. I do NOT know how to run a publishing company and website like 2p2, but along with Edward I am learning. In fact, he and I were in Borders Saturday and looked at some competing publications and analyzed the business decisions that went into them--and the places where those business decisions went astray. So I am learning.

Perhaps, Evan, you do know know more than I do, but I haven't seen your credentials--other than that you are a member of the target audience as I am not. I am, however, sure that I know more about the inner workings specific to 2p2 than you do, even though, of course, I am not privy to all the details.
