Can someone that knows how to search the threads, please find pwalker's original post about Scalzi? I know I found proof to disprove the status and posted it.

Ah, now we are in phase II of the standard Internet ad homiem method of debate. First claim your opponent never provides specific links (kind of like the standard grade school taunt "prove it"). Then when proof is provided, dismiss it with a wave of the hand and some red herring claim as to why that doesn't count. I'm sure that tomorrow, if I post something that doesn't match your party line, you will once again claim I make wild claims without posting proof. Really, it's so, so predictable and boring.
Scalzi is one of the few authors who is willing to publicly post his actual numbers. He is in a position to look at his real life numbers and compare them to the estimated numbers that the estimating sites published. He says that the estimated numbers were way off.
