A colleague from my department came across this letter yesterday. Seeing as I've been frustrated by the publishing process (among other things!) lately, and I know I'm not alone, I thought I'd share.
Journal of Systems and Software, 54 (2000), 1.
My favorite line:
"Still, from this batch of reviewers, C was clearly the most hostile, and we request that you not ask him to review this revision. Indeed, we have mailed letter bombs to four or five people we suspected of being reviewer C, so if you send the manuscript back to them, the review process could be unduly delayed."
If you want to read the whole letter (it's only a page) and don't have access, let me know!
I used to be a grad student. And now I'm not (thank goodness). I spent a year as a post doc in industry in Baltimore before starting a "real" job with the same company. These are my tales of science, food, travel, and life.
