That's what I thought as well. I also think Daniele was right in that instance. Tom, are you sure you haven't misread something somewhere?

Mind you, I don't think you having got the wrong end of the stick is a good enough reason for rejection in itself, and this does seem to be yet another incidence of the URCM moderators delaying a post because of who posted it. Sigh. Surely moderation should be about filtering out the real problem posts rather than sweating small stuff like this...the extreme authoritarianism continues unabated. For now.
