having to do rejections is one thing I do not envy at all about an editors job. Having to tell people no, when they put their hearts and souls, even when a piece is great, or especially if it isn't but you can tell it was worked carefully, having to tell so many people now when you want to say yes, whew, my heart is a little stressed thinking about it and I don't have to do it. I'd rather receive a rejection than have to do the rejecting, so respect to editors on that front.
