I never read them for their sci/fi. The first Baen books I read were Mercedes Lackey. Back then I didn't pay any attention to the publisher. It was years before I looked at Baen to see what else they had that I might like--and it was after reading Holly Lisle who wrote some great and entertaining fantasy and what would be called urban fantasy today. It probably wasn't until I started submitting books to publishers that I even REALIZED they were known for sci/fi first and fantasy second.
There are a lot of readers out there who pay no mind at all to who the publisher is, what they may or may not specialize in and so on. There's nothing wrong with paying attention or not paying attention to such details either.
