I would tend to disagree with this assesment as I think, most here would.
Though your disagreement is flattering, I think it's a realistic assesment, as I am not a bestselling author, but do sell fairly decently. This makes me midlist. There was a time, as recently as the 1970s, when "midlist" was nothing to be ashamed off, when big publishing houses actually looked out for and fostered their midlist as the mainstay of their catalogue. That was the age before Only The Bestsellers Matter.
