Yes, that is what authors face today. Should we accept this
without making a small effort to help good ideas grow? For
me, a small responsible act adds to the quality of my life
and how i feel about myself. Pushing ideas too hard detracts
from the quality of my life and makes others miserable.
Seems to be a question of balance.
Anyway, when i assume some responsibility for helping authors
with books sales isn't it a partnership. Both of us are now
responsible for book sales. Occasionally, this partnership has
helped spread the word of long dead authors.
