Well, yeah, you're right. Stephen King wouldn't, but if there was a new author or an author who doesn't have a lot of pull who had just signed a publishing deal and their publisher came to them and said they wanted to release a clean version of their book, they'd probably go along with it.

And I'm not talking about a few voices here or there asking for clean versions, I'm talking about a major up swell of people looking for clean versions... the kind of which will never happen so this is all hypothetical anyway.
