how amazon could change publishing, or, how 10 million self-published books each year is actually a good thing

I caught up to all this too late, but I couldn’t resist!
Basically, some random wrote an absurd article over at Forbes about how “Amazon Could Change Publishing!!!”
(I added the exclamation points myself, and I’m not bothering to link to the idiot article in question because it ENRAGED me)
The funniest response thus far has been by Sir Thomas de Kay over at 101 Reasons to Stop Writing.
Imagine a world with no middle man to wade through the horibble, horrible slush.
If you already feel overwhelmed by the amount of published crap that makes it through the big filters, imagine even those imperfect filters turned off and us, the poor consumer becoming the slush pile reader?
It would be anarchy! Anarchy!
