Should I include my self-published novel in my query to publishing companies?

I self-published one novel before, should I mention the title and company (IUniverse) when I sent out query letters to publishing company? I'm not going to self-publish anymore, going for all or nothing, and I read that a query should list your writer experiences.Should I include my self-published novel in my query to publishing companies?
No. I'm sorry to say I don't think self publishing counts. Cause anybody can self publish. They want to know how many books you've gotten published by OTHER companies, the traditional way.Should I include my self-published novel in my query to publishing companies?
Tell them about your writing experience. I used to tell them how long I'd been writing, that I was an avid reader of the genre, and that writing them had become a passion. mention any writer's groups you're in, such a critique group, etc, things that show your serious about your writing.

Yes, that will show them you have some experience with publishing and they will think twice before trying to **** you out of royalties.
