I replied in thread #70, including as the first three sentences of my post:
"It is not that Trad Pub provides no value. It is the price to authors of obtaining the services that constitute that value. And, unlike the past going back decades, Trad Pubs now have competitors providing these services or alternatives to them."

Nah.
The same little group of posters have been throwing the same strawman out since I first registered.
On thread after thread.
Then they pretend their opponents not only proposed said strawman but defended it.
It gets old, but we keep slapping them down.
Not because they are capable of examining the way the market is changing and reexamining their position, but because new people come to the forum and are exploring all this for the first time.
