Norm, good for you for defending yourself here. Keep on keeping on.
However, let me say that Julie Dawson is a valued commodity (sorry Julie for calling you such). She has proved herself as a hard worker in the industry and knows her stuff.
If you find her abrasive, ain't that the business? You gotta get through it.
I would suggest that your best tactic is to address Julie is the most formal and respectful manner. Ignore any perceived slights.
For me, I see her as doing the rest of us a service.

Can anyone help me? I am SO new at all this - I have 4 books published on Lulu and feel as though I am "all alone" as far as help! Is there a way to transfer my books to another publisher? One who has more support? Or is Lulu the best there is? Teresa Salazar

Teresa,
What kind of support are you looking for? One of the reasons sites like Lulu can afford to offer these servives so inexpensively is because it is based on a self-service model. There are people like me who offer design services, and who try to help authors as much as we can, and there are more expensive publishing packages from Lulu and others that will do more of the work for you.
But if you want someone to hold your hand through the publishing process or help you accomplish it, then it's up to you to acquire help or do it yourself. That's sort of the point of self publishing, after all. You'tr taking on the burden of the kinds of things that a traditional publisher would handle for you.

"I did do my homework. I taught myself everything about it. I also choose not to be "educated" by someone who has only been at this for ten years. I programmed computers in APL and COBOL when you were still in diapers"
Perhaps you can get those talents to work on why its so bloody hard to get my epub uploaded to lulu then ? I mean its not rocket science presumably its just text !!! Why is this so hard.
