No hard feelings...

Given what has been brought to light in this thread, I'm not sure you can even objectively call AP a company. More like some sort of quasi charity, except a lot of the participants didn't realize they were "volunteering" their services...

Has anyone ever stopped to think about why AP should be struggling so mightily to right the ship? Is there something achievable in the future that makes all this pain worthwhile? I'm not so sure.

Many, many companies run into similar or worse problems, and yet I would call each and every one of them a company.

Badly run, in most cases, but a company.

Mike had a publisher's blog up for a while (I can no longer find it) and it was clear to me he acknowledged many of the errors he made in the past and highlighted some of the steps he was taking to correct the situation. The steps outlined seem logical enough for me to believe AP has a reasonable chance of success.

I wish him and AP the best.
