Not so: You contribute insider's knowledge, something most of us do not have. I, for one, have found the information provided by you to be insightful and valuable.
The only problem is that all of this talk does nothing to actually
make things happen... we're all blowing smoke. In that respect, nothing any of us is saying here makes any difference, if the publishers aren't listening, nor care to act in response to our cries for help (or, in this case, cheap books).
On the other hand... independents (like myself) get useful information from this site, including word of what's going on "inside the castle" of publishing from people like yourself, which helps to guide our efforts to be successful on our own. In my case, it has been an immense help.
So don't feel like you're not contributing. Your knowledge, combined with ours, is what makes this site as great as it is. Keep it up, buddy.
