And he can't spell "researcher" (in the headline) either.

Huh? You mean you don't "speel" it like that?

More often, I sit back and consider the differences between successful writers and those who haven’t yet reached published status. I need to clarify something here. When I say “published,” what I mean is legitimately published by a real publishing house that actually offers money and then pays it (albeit in many cases later than they should.). In an era of fly by night small presses, vanity presses, et al, I feel the need to make that clarification.

I think I would take exception to that statement, if I was a self published writer. Naomi, you did start and end with a positive comment in your reply post.
