It's ironic because I had just made the same comment today to a colleague about the post "<a href="http://slashdot.org/articles/04/10/25/2120222.shtml?tid=217&tid=154" rel="nofollow">Google-branded Firefox</a>" (<em>news that's <a href="http://www.kottke.org/04/09/more-google-browser" rel="nofollow">decomposingly old</a> by now</em>). I think the Slashdot Era is <a href="http://compooter.org/article/70/slashdot-rss/" rel="nofollow">coming to an end</a>. I totally agree with you.

The worry is not the rejection but simply how long it took from submition to processed item. I've seen it on a number of occasions lately, and it especially happens to sensitive items. I'm tempted to think Slashdot is becoming somewhat more filtered and probed. Good thing Forever Geek is around, then, eh?
