Actually, his chief complaint is that they willfully disregarded their contract with him. That has less to do with "traditional publishing wasn't right for him" than "O'Reilly didn't honor a contract."

In many offices, you need to be around when things come up. There are very few jobs where you come in, work by yourself for 8 hours and then go home. Communication is important, and if you aren't there, it's hard to communicate.
