Yes, if that's the common definition of "in print" - We have a copy, no you can't buy it - then I'd expect all publishers to have an "in print" Vault where they keep a pristine "for sale, but not really, it'll cost you 1 bazillion dollars to buy" copy of everything they've ever published ever.

We don't know, for example, how well the authors that write for them are doing as opposed to other publishers. From an author's perspective -- what are the advantages of writing for Baen as opposed to Tor or Ace?
One presumes that the authors are pretty happy with them. I'm fairly certain that Mercedes Lackey could sign with anyone she wants at this point.

Just my two cents, and feel free to ignore me, but... It's a little off-putting that whenever anyone makes a point you don't like, you say "We don't know that!" in an attempt to shut down the conversation.

I don't see you meticulously documenting every assertion you make, so... it's a little off-putting for you to be shutting down other people for saying things like, "Well, Baen does X and they seem to be making a profit," and you leaping in crying, "We don't know that for sure!!"

Well, dude, we don't know a lot of things for sure, but the burden of proof seems to be a little uneven in your discussions. Just my two cents.
