Wonder what would Stonetools think of Shatzkin's about-face?

I've never thought of him as bought and paid for, he just knows where his money comes from. In this case I think it's a simple case that the traditional publishers have realized the mistake and he caught wind of it. He's good at telling them things they want to hear or are ready to hear. He's just not going to give them radical ideas that they don't want to hear, even if it's the truth.
