You're the first person not to be rejected.  How did you do it?

Maybe I did it first, and then you guys got rejected cos of duplication?
  Maybe cos I just kept it simple?

As I mentioned to you, I did it last night, and it had the same text that
is/was in yours *sigh*

Is there anyway to find out who actually rejected your
message and why?  And why Chris' was subsequently accepted?
It seems really incomprehensible that our announcement
from you of all people was rejected in the first place.
We should try to find that out before we mention the
faux pas to other media.

how about, "For next release, submit text 3 times"..:-)

Why bother with /. internals? Unless you know somebody out there personally, it
does not work AFAIK..

Also remember that /. is an Opinion site, not news.   So they have the "right"
to accept or reject whatever they wish.  Based on timing, I think that Cowboy
Neal rejected the first two posts, but then the shift changed and Michael
accepted Chris' post.
