I wasn't being crusty. I was being realistic, and you were taking it too personally. There's a difference. I don't feel sympathetic towards a corrupt music industry that forces talented musicians to live close to or below the poverty line. Get a grip man.

Oh for god's sake, are you seriously that sensitive?? Speaking as a musician who's been playing for over 40 years, I can tell you one does become slightly bitter when one realizes that much less talented people make 98% of the money in the industry. Does that help you understand ? I'm not...

Intelligent people will always be concerned about things in this world that don't make sense. How about Taylor Swift making $1 million every day so far in 2015? Taylor Swift is on pace to make $365 million this year — more than Jay Z, Diddy, and Drake combined Clearly, money doesn't always...

I brought up my comment about his older books not to state that he is currently making royalties from them but that he has made money from them in the past. We will just have to sit back and wait and see how this new one sells. Hopefully it doesn't sell all that well because if it does then the...

Jacobs has written more than one book. Are you telling us he hasn't made any money from writing books on the subject, Gene? Jacobs, David Michael (1975). The UFO Controversy in America. Jacobs, David M. (1992). Secret Life: Firsthand Accounts of UFO Abductions. (1998). The Threat. The Secret...

Gene, I have no idea why you keep pounding this point about the sales of Jacobs' book. It's becoming extremely tiring. We get the point. He's not becoming Donald Trump from selling his latest book.

The only reason we're discussing this is because you responded to my post and brought this issue up. Your response inferred that there was no point in writing a UFO book because there's no money in it. You mentioned $1 per book, which is why I brought up the "speculation" aspect. When you...

It's one example of dozens I could make, my friend. There are many, many people making money selling books in the UFO field, contrary to what is sometimes stated here on the Paracast and in other forums. If they weren't making money many of them wouldn't be doing it. Also, I said they sell...

Thanks, Gene, but I was talking to LatentCauses, actually correcting him on the royalty differences between e-books and paperback. In re to UFO/Paranormal books, no it's obviously not the path to riches for most authors. Obviously if they want to make money they're better off doing horror like...

A couple of points. First, you have no idea how much Jacobs makes per book. Secondly, you're also guessing when it comes to royalties from Kindle sales, and you're wrong. Authors make more from Kindle sales than they do from paperback sales. And in re to making a living selling UFO books...

Yeah. I knew of this site. I had seen it many years ago. Totally insane. For a second there I thought Jacobs was being facetious in bringing it up, but... no. He actually believes those hats do something. Or for some bizarre reason he wants us to think he believes they do something? It's...

Gene, one of the reasons books are written is to make the author money. It's as simple as that. It may not be a ton of money, agreed, but you don't sell anything to make a loss. The disbelief in Jacobs' statements has a lot to do with the extreme nature of his contentions and having little to...

Gene, did it occur to you that he doesn't believe this stuff or possibly that he's just crazy? And I completely disagree with your comment about not making money. He literally says in the interview he'd rather just sit around and watch TV all day. So why write another book unless he can...

Dr. Jacobs is not interested in doing any further research into these issues, preferring at this point in his life to sit around and watch TV all day. On the other hand, he will write another book in an effort to suck more money out of the terminally gullible. Dr. Jacobs has made exceedingly...

My deepest condolences on the loss of your brother, Chris.

I'm amazed that Chris brought the term "conservative" into the discussion of the "unseen ships" topic. What a joke. Being the first person to bring up the issue, I imagine he's referring (somewhat) to me. The whole topic seemed to bring out the angry side of Chris. Very distasteful. Having...

RIP Mr. Moseley. Sad day.

That's simply not true, and almost naive in its implications. There's nothing paranormal about electricity, for example, but try bringing back electrical devices to the cave man days and showing it to them. What would they think about the technology? As Clarke stated, Any sufficiently...

If you asked it for the truth about something it would reply, "There is no truth, only perception."

I'm not going to lie. Apple make great products. But they're not the only game in town. ;) Just having some fun trolling Mr. Gene. LOL :)
