I love their old-timey medical photographs. Some lit mags are worth subscribing to just for the pictures.
Funny and sad. In the beginning the letter sound politely positive, but with the words 'we apologize for not being able to offer a personal reply,' you know that it's a form letter--a one button rejection. Typical.
Still it's better than no reply.
