Washington State University
Field: ESL Composition Professor

Rejection by email: 12/27/10

Rejection letter: 1/3/10. Hmmmmmm. I wonder what the difference is. None, I suppose.

Perhaps a reject by mail is more honorable because they sacrifice a tree and a stamp for the purpose of telling you to "go away." The email is just lousy bandwith.
