That's a very silly statement. Editing is editing unless you are using a different definition. I know the so-called "editors" at the TPH are really Project Managers, not editors, maybe that's what you mean.
and as far as the O.P. the Big-Time authors shouldn't be happy, neither should the new authors or particularly the mid-list authors....they are all being ripped off by the TPH because until recently they had a captive market and control of the distribution, sales, etc. It is no longer true and unless they come around and change their business model, they will not be in business or will be only a shadow of what they were.
