- re Kent McClelland (930121)
-
- Sure am sorry to hear about your paper being turned down.
-
- I once had a similar problem (oversell) several years ago with a language
- acquisition paper. Somehow I convinced the editors to publish it anyway
- followed by two or three critics to whom I responded. This actually turned
- out to be more interesting than just the paper itself.
-
- I'm not saying this would also work for you, but it may be worth a try. I
- suppose your first step would be to write back commenting on the criticisms
- of your reviewers. If you do this in such a way as to respect the
- critiques and point out that their problem is to be expected in that PCT
- turns lots of established perspectives upside-down and inside-out, then
- maybe you could your paper published with critical comments and then with
- your rejoinder.
-
- Perhaps you could get some support and assistance on this from CSGnet by
- posting the reviews. As you know, we are always on the lookout for more
- devils who need to be bathed.
-
- On a more technical note, I wonder if you could send me two files. I
- assume that your paper was typed using Word on the Mac. So send me the
- binary file binhexed as you know how to do.
-
- Also, I would like to experiment with sending formatted texts using RTF
- (rich text format; also called "Interchange format") which is an ASCII
- encoding of the binary file. This should be theoretically be readable by
- quite a few word processors, both Mac and IBM based. Do do this, "save as"
- and choose this format. Then send the resulting file to me.
-
- I would also like to find out how many CSGnetters who would like to receive
- Kent's paper can also import RTF files. You may have to check your word
- processor documentation under "importing files." If you can import RTF
- files, let me know what computer and software you are using. You should
- send this to me personal e-mail address and I will send you the RTF version
- of Kent's paper if I think this will work.
-

-
- P.S. There is work on a standard for the transmission of both text and
- graphics over Internet. It is called MIME and promises to make our sharing
- of information much easier in the future.
