Hello Jan, Firstly apologies for the inconvenience you faced in working with us. This may be an exceptional, one off situation where in such a thing happened.
We definitely do not focus on quantity, our first and foremost priority is quality of the content and knowledge to share with our readers. All thanks to this group, I have found a few skillful experts in Clojure. I hope that me and you have a chance to work together soon and I am able to change your perception about the way we work at Packt Publishing. Greetings of the festive season to you and your loved ones. :) God Bless.
