It was amazing that you managed to cut 100 submissions to the relatively compact round-up that resulted. The C of PF is a challenge, given its size. I thot you did a fine job, especially considering the short time frame.

There are so many of these carnivals and, if you’re posting every day, so much new copy to offer up that it doesn’t make much sense to get miffed about the occasional rejection…although I will say I was a bit annoyed by the C of PF host who remarked, some weeks ago, that she was publishing only those posts she adjudged to be “interesting,” implying that everything rejected that week must be b-o-o-o-o-ring. Most serious bloggers wouldn’t submit a piece they didn’t think was interesting, and so common courtesy suggests a host should keep a derogatory opinion private.
