Does Anyone Ever Become An Editor ?

[internetfanatic]

Hey it would be real nice to actually see some positive posts or stories about how someone actually got accepted to become an editor... all I see in the forum pages is.. rejected .. denied .... dumped.... no-no-... not this time...last time I am gonna apply.. getting ready to cut my wrists.... ! Surely there are some applicants who made it through ? perhaps hearing from them would give the rest of us something in the way of hope !.. anyway just a thought

People who are accepted don't general come back here to post "Hey, I was accepted!!!". They may come back here (though many never come here at all) but you generally don't notice that they've gone from member to editor unless you're looking. It *does* give things a bit of a one-sided slant.

Jim thats a lot of editors ! so the odds are good of making it through, but it would still be nice if people did write up some "I made it" stories..lol. Thanks for your feedback meta's. I promise if I get through i shall definatly make a point of writing up a post about it... pehaps it will start a trend ! HAGD

Do you have the data on how many got rejected? Ok I was rejected twice, with reasons I would consider pretty phony. I am a reasonably intelligent, commited person interested in giving my time time for free and they wont let me?!

That's not publicly available information.
