I'm glad that you found my little rant. ;) In truth, I'm not actually terribly upset, and rest assured Boing Boing will forever remain on my "must read daily - sometimes multiple times a day" list. I do however find it wonderfully humorous that the post finally made it up via such a long list of referrals and not, as I mentioned, as a result of hearing it from a more direct source. In the end the story got covered, which was after all my ultimate wish, and there's the added bonus that I am now more aware of your own blog, so I have more great reading ahead of me! Best, -Roderick Thanks for the kind words Simon! I’m glad that you found my little rant. ;)

Just wrong timing, I guess.

My guess is that they get several thousand submission a day. I probably just hit them at the right time (I sent my suggestion in near midnight, when probably fewer people submit). Within about 2 minutes of my submission, they had the post up on their website, which means the boingboing editor likely opened up his inbox right after I submitted the link. It was just a matter of good timing. Sorry that they didn’t post your original submission! My guess is that they get several thousand submission a day.
