<< J. Strnd need to do what is best for his interests>>
Okay, Richard, you just got yourself taken off the list of possible editors for my next book! I have one vowel in my last name...ONE STINKING VOWEL...due to the chronic and historical vowel shortage in Bohemia that began generations ago...
and you take it away from me! Why would I ever trust an editor who breaks into my house and steals my vowels??? You just lost a customer, buddy!
(The rest of what you said makes perfect sense.)
