    How is it that whenver I submit a new article to /. early in the day (like one about the AT&T/Cingular merger), it gets rejected... Then several hours later, some other schmuck posts the same news along with a dozen links to several other news sites that are now reporting the same thing. Is some moderator scooping all the stories or is it just not newsworthy until everyone else is running the same info? What a pathetic waste of time.

      It's because the other schmuck submitted the article before you did. You know /. holds articles and releases them on a schedule, right? They're not posted the minute they're accepted.
