What? I heard a quill pen!
Should we just make a separate 'Norm Facts' thread?

Music is not only quicker at altering or reinforcing your mood than drugs; it is legal, cheaper, more readily available, more healthful, and comes in more variety. However, it is addictive.

Well, the shelves weren’t exactly overburdened with books on card counting at the time.There was no I’Net, and there was no MIT team. I chose Thorp because it was the only counting system I had heard of. It was clear that I needed more info. So, as soon as I heard about Revere, I made the trip to his house and switched to RPC. (I believe the family still owns the house, 40 years later.) My change wasn’t based on any intelligent evaluation. It was based on the fact that counters I met on my first trip said to go Revere.

THEPOGG asked: "You’ve also authored two books – Modern Blackjack Vol I and II. Unusually however you went down the route of publishing them for free on the internet first and then offering hard copies for sale to those who want them. What was the thought process behind publishing the book for free? (you can find Modern Blackjack at http://qfit.com/book/index.htm)"
Norm replied: "Patience is not one of my virtues. I looked at the efforts of friends in selling a book and then dealing with the interminable process of getting it in print, had all these pages typed up and edited by Don Schlesinger, and couldn’t bear the concept of waiting a year for it to appear. So, I put it online. When requests for hardcopies came in, I followed Katarina Walker’s path when she self-published her great book, The Pro’s Guide to Spanish 21 and Australian Pontoon."
I have a special request. Will you please make your free book online downloadable? If you want to share your book free to a lot more people, why don't you make your free e-book downloadable?
In order for me to read your free book on my laptop, I need to find a free Wi Fi such as the one in Borg, GN, Bally's, Tropicana, Starbucks, Dunkin Doughnuts, Greyhound Lines, etc... If I were able to download your ebook, then I can read your ebook anywhere while I'm in transit and during downtime between bus, train, plane, etc...
Thank you in advance for your kind consideration of my request.
I am aware of this and have filed scores of DMCA complaints. There are some criminal sites that simply ignore them. ZG considers the people that run these sites as heroes and has complained that I wouldn't allow him to post about sites that steal my software. I have no idea why he thinks I can support software when it's stolen. This is how the criminal mind works. These people complain about their rights, but have no respect for other people's rights whatsoever.
