Ending 2008 on a happy note
Hurrah! Hurrah! I get to finish up the year with some good news. My October manuscript, the first paper I've ever submitted, has been accepted (with a few revisions) at Fancy Pants Journal. Yay! I'm absolutely thrilled. This isn't me asking for trouble, but I'm shocked at how few reader comments I got. Would it be utterly ridiculous to ask if there were any more comments that just got "censored" or edited out or something?

In response to your question: Yes, it would be utterly ridiculous. Don't borrow trouble.
I've had one fancy-pants journal give me three consecutive revise-and-resubmit verdicts, each with pages and pages of suggestions. I've had another equally fancy one accept on the first round with the only comment being "It could be longer." There will be time in your career to get reviewer type A. Today, you got type B. The appropriate response is to rejoice (!!!), and add the thing to your CV.
And congratulations!

Thanks. Happy New Year! I went out for drinks and merriment last night. No way will I ask for more comments. What was I thinking?
