Sorry if I'm the one to impart the cruel truth, but if your stuff isn't getting accepted then you clearly need to polish your style and approach until it is - it really is just that simple. I also don't mean to compare dick sizes here, but I've had no trouble getting _any_ of my articles accepted and I know several other people who have enjoyed similar degrees of success. Ultimately, even though Brett would now have us believe that I'm directly responsible for your successes or lack thereof, it's down to you and only you whether you succeed or fail at any form of advocacy. I can say that of those I've known who were both persistent and reasonably intelligent (enough to express themselves in print, I mean), their success rate at getting stuff accepted for publication has been more than exemplary. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
