Hell yeah! I agreed with ya then and I agree with ya now, and every
one was wondering why I hate Viz sooooooo much. As far as that "Go
to hell, we're Viz!" thing. . . that might've been Tom but it does
sound like someone else said something to that effect about 6 months
ago on the ML. (wasn't me, my rant was quite like that)

I don't think they're spreading too thin, their just not getting
the job done.  Look at how varied some of the other companies are
Manga has dozens of titles, some of them are long series too.  Anime
Works / Kitty realised it was spreading to thin and has now back to
it's roots (hentai, Kitty video label). Pioneer is still gaining
momentum as a powerful anime distributor and it seems like every
week they pick up a new title.
