>Oh, by the way, since you're so concerned with writing

I was not concerned with your writing I was concerned with your content.

>>Nor did I say--anywhere--that books that don't earn out their advances can't be profitable for publishers.

No but when you say

>>Second, while I'm certain that it's true that most self-published books sell fewer than 150 copies, it's equally true that most Big Six books never earn out their advances.

The implication is that most big six books are not selling many copies. If the publisher is making a profit that it likely not true. Just because the author is not making a lot of money does not mean that copies in the thousands are not being moved. A don't try to divert back to talk about the author. Your initial point was not about the author but the number of books being moved.

Final point - I love how you wrapped up your last argument with a grammar critique of a blog post. Seriously!!! Doing a grammar check of a comment to a blog post. Wow! You found a grammatical error in a comment. You are awesome. Don't resort to defending your content. Let's talk grammar.
