All this points up is the absolutely necessity of having intelligent GOOD editors who beat the snot -- uh, patiently explain -- why these characters are less than likely to attract return readers, and writers who 1) want to do better, and 2) are willing to listen.
Unless readers are really that dumb and don't want more or better. Then they deserve what they get.
(See, Nea -- all those years of grief you gave you, paid off. :) )
