American Idol's Simon Cowell has nothing on the academic conference/journal/grant/job rejection letter
Here are my all time favorite (by favorite, I mean the best examples of unintentionally insulting) rejection letters, content distilled into haiku form.
From a recent conference paper submission:
"Many grand ideas
were rejected, but yours was
not among that crowd."
or, from the American Studies Association two years ago:
"Seventy-five of
one hundred were accepted--
great odds--but not you."

I wish you'd post more.
You are such a genius;
I bow before you.
