We're with ya, Bob

DC's TPB and reprint guru Bob Greenberger had this to say on JMS's recent foray into needless continuity tinkering:

The Clone Saga Lives Again

A buddy stopped by while I was eating lunch and we got to talking comics (just like in the good old days). And we started talking about the current storyline in Amazing Spider-Man. We’re both of an age where the notion of teenage virgin Gwen Stacy deciding to bed 45year-old-or-so Norman Osborn ruins our perception of the character. I began thinking of ways it could be ignored or undone. For a brief, shining moment I thought of a way to use the dreaded Gwen Stacy clone. Then, after some quick internet research, it appeared that professor Miles Warren, creator of the clone, started on his path to lunacy as a result of his student’s death meaning the clone wasn’t around to service Norman.

Anyone else have a good idea?

Not reading it works for me, but even that's hard to avoid. Bet Marvel regrets the "don't change a word" policy they agreed to when they signed JMS to that exclusive deal. Whoops indeed.
