Like the company or not, the very existence of CFDJ is a good thing and I would not want it to go away. I just think it needs better management and pissing off past, present and potentially future authors and subscribers just isn't the way to go. Maybe they're actually giving Simon some power now. Maybe the FAQU is a wakeup call to them. I just hope its a change for the good even though they pissed me (and you and others) off.
