Russ Toney of C & C Comics in St. Alban, West Virginia read Andy Battaglia's remarks regarding Diamond's "Early Delivery Survey" (see "Andy Battaglia of Comics Etc. on Day Early Delivery Survey") and agrees that new comic day should remain on Wednesday:

Andy is right.  New comic day on Wednesday stands out.  It makes us special.  If New Comic Day were moved to Tuesday then we would just be lost in the mix of DVDs, Games, Books and other items.  Yes, let us get the comics a day early to have proper time to sort and prepare for Wednesday, but keep Wednesday as New Comic Day.

Andy is also correct that retailers need to fill out the survey and tell Diamond how they feel.  Often too many decisions are made in the industry with little retailer input.
