When they don't do I want and don't give me a good reason, I continue to pester if it is important, and drop it if it is more of a personal preference issue. I have never threatened to quit because in large part these publishers do very well and I have no major complaints. | |

I can understand the latter ones having little resources to improve things. | |

Have you ever encountered a flaw serious enough to insist and consider pulling your weight ("fix this or find another editor")? If they didn't even offer an explanation for the things they didn't fix, maybe they don't consider your protests serious enough or you do not insist. | |
