Honor is an endangered species. And it is what has built my business. I used to be able to do things on someone's word now it requires a 10 page contract, signed and witnessed.
But that's a different issue. I think that the edition should be completed according to the number on the flag, regardless of profit or loss. If profit is the only reason for discontinuing an edition than reduce the edition size so as to guarantee a retirement. IMHO this will benefit everyone involved.
