I heard he posts here sometimes, I'm not sure what his screen name is.

Larry if you are here, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about pool.
 
Its still there but I was wrong, it is lncanada9. Thats a lower case L at the start of his username
 
I would hope ...

that the Pros would check this site and forum on a regular basis. Afterall, even though most pros may not have their own PC, they usually know plenty of people and friends that do, AND IT IS NOT THAT HARD TO JUST JUMP ON ONE FOR 1/2 HOUR OR AN HOUR to get boned up on onformation on here.

Very few, which is disappointing to me, make an effort to check or contribute on a frequent basis. To me, that just tells me, that they do not approach their 'chosen profession' with a businessperson's attitude. When I was working for companies in the field of Information Systems and Technology, I had to keep up with ALL INFORMATION in my field that could affect my job or have an impact.

Seeing how AZB is a primary source of information concerning their 'field', I feel that many pros are rather remiss in not being more attentive to what goes on here.

The very least they could, or have a friend do, is to set up a google search for their name, or a few terms, and have it delivered to an email address, so they will know if anything they might be interested in, is going on on here.

Even if it is somewhat difficult for them, they could just go to Starbucks, have a coffee and get on a system.
 
The last discussion I saw Larry take part in had to do with him offering to play all comers for small stakes as a way for them to improve their game. Essentially, he threw out this offer (an excellent one, I think), some people praised him for it, some criticized him pretty harshly for it, etc, etc. Haven't heard from him since.

I haven't been visiting azb very long, but it seems like a lot of pros who come here are eventually ran off by people who seem to just want to give them shit b/c they are pros. I don't understand it; these are some of the most skilled people in the sport, yet any average joe who creates an account here will generally get more respect than the average pro. :rolleyes:

Not entirely true.

It is something that is being worked on daily.

Sooner or later ( if I get my way ) this place will not tolerate open attacks on anyone regardless of post count or skill level.

I've gone to bat for everyone who has ever asked for just a little help with being abused and I hope some of them will return.

I know, and I certainly don't envy your position as moderator. Please understand that my criticism was directed strictly toward those who do the attacking. Hats off to you for trying to make azb a more friendly environment for everyone.

Just as a note.

I just setup a thread in the NPR section about how to setup a Google Search to go to your email address.

Aaron...I just would like to clarify one post that I made, in response to what someone else posted, on that same thread. Although I made it clear that I though Larry's offer was valid and very generous, I do also believe that anyone who wants to consider themselves any kind of 'teacher' must continue to learn new and better ways to communicate the nuances of learning to play better, whether it be through 'technique analysis' or strategy play. That post was meant to be constructive, rather than critical of Larry's offer.
