I'll admit to not understanding this one at all. Mitch Ratcliffe disputes my statement that when Don Katz claims Audible.com does "something much like podcasting" it involves a centralized authority. I read his whole post through a couple of times and I don't get what his refutation actually refutes.

Mitch thinks I am incorrect when I claim that I have more access to the podcasting infrastructure than I do to the Audible infrastructure. Let's not argue, let's get empirical. I recorded a show this morning and 15 minutes later it was published into my bittorrent feed. I want to publish that same show into the Audible system tomorrow. Can I do that, and if so how?

Mitch also states in his post that he likes me, and I also like him. How come it seems like we are always at loggerheads?
