The 3-page Rejection Letter

I received a rejection letter from a certain sociological-theory journal. Since my adviser who is one of the editors of the journal had already alerted me to the rejection, I wasn't upset. But I was surprised to see the single-spaced 3-page rejection letter from the editors, along with comments from 3 different reviewers. I mean, it's not usually for any editors to write as long as three pages to explain rejection... Well, the letter I received actually contained a lot of useful suggestions to make my manuscript better. So, I was pleasantly surprised.

I don't mind rejection, for I will write many better papers in the future!
