Considering the heat of the recent exchanges [again] I was about to
call on David!!! I am not sure that that would help -- nor am I sure that your
well-meaning effort will help.
I tried to introduce a perspective similar to that which you mentioned
in your post. . . . That having a couple of papers rejected is not an unusual
event in our field. I have lost count on how many I have had rejected.
I would like to repeat -- one can find a compatible reference group [an
old term, introduced by one of the very best -- Muzafer Sherif] if one looks
around.
