Subject:Not sure..
if it's a compliment that I'm published, or an insult that I'm near the end. Congrats on getting it published.

I'm taking it as a compliment that I'm in the “best of” book. I may not be the cream of the crop, but at least I'm not the cream of the crap.

A shame that my story wasn't included; I woulda bought it straight away, then. Heck, I still might buy it anyway.

Yeah, we seriously considered compromizing our journalistic integrity and including everyone who had submitted even if their community rating was below the 3.0 threshold just to sell books, but in the rush to get it to press, I forgot to.
Damned my default ethics.
