Rob Rants About a Couple Current Slashdot Issues

Couple of comments recently have popped up about article contents lately, and I just want to address them. First is the suggestion that I reply with a prefabbed message to each submission a reason why it didn't get posted: If this takes 10 seconds per submission, this would add 50 minutes of work to my day. I'm already spending more time on Slashdot than my job. If Slashdot becomes my full time job, I'd consider it, but until then, no way! Second, people have complained about articles not getting posted, or being late. If you don't make the article look interesting to me, I won't read it. I have 50-75 submissions waiting each day when I get to work, and If your subject is 'Hey Look at This!' I'm probably just going to delete it, because the subject next to it actually might have some sort of description. Third please use the submit form folks- I'm already getting 350 emails a day. The form puts them into a database that I can search/sort/organize as well as post very quickly. Last:Postive Stuff I just wanted to just say that Slashdot is really going well these days. You've been sending in great articles, editorials, and posting excellent comments, as well as making constructive criticism that will eventually help make the site even cooler. And I want to thank everyone out there for helping make Slashdot as fun to maintain as it is. Oooh, and we broke our single day hits record yesterday:120,000! Way cool.
