I have no intention of taking a census of "reputable publishers" but sincerely doubt you are right about that. AFAIK publishers choose editors, not outgoing editors. As long as the parting is amicable (as Bob Grommes's was) I am sure most publishers would welcome their input and suggestions. That is quite different from any kind of responsibility. Are you claiming omniscience about the publishing industry now based on your brief affiliation with Apress?
