I figure that eventually they will be of use to lots of people, even if immediately no one really cares.

I see that too, though I don't think it's a "no one really cares" issue, so much as it's not relevant to where they are with their writing and experience at this moment. Because I care, I just don't have an immediate use for it.

Plus, you know, this whole demystifying publishing thing is actually really important to me.

It shows, it really does. I find that aspect to be great. It's not an inside scoop, per se, but it is revealing in a way that matters. It's not reading parties, pizza and coffee; there's a business side that needs addressing every day, I'm sure, and that isn't typically seen (or thought of) often.
