Apparently you assume that the publisher will not listen to its customers, but only to its authors.
To be fair, there are some publishers who don't listen to their customers. Of course, there are also some publishers who don't listen to their authors. I think that, the smaller the publisher, the more they listen to both their customers and their authors. Which is ...refreshing.
My experience has been that publishers don't listen to either, but maybe I've had bad experiences. I'd still always go first to the person providing the problem, rather than to one of their, um, suppliers. But I thought that comment hadn't posted, and I was half-pleased as I'd had time for second thoughts, so I'm certainly not going to defend it further.
