Article Rejected, With Interesting Comment From Editor

I thought I would mention a change in something I've seen about rejections. Usually, a rejection has been simply, "Don't do this. Here's a link to read about how to fix it," or something of that nature. By no means have I quoted the rejection exactly. I'm giving a loose example.
I've just received a rejection however, with the line, "This is a good article, but some points don't flow well."
If editors read this forum, I'd like them to know that I really appreciate the encouragement. I know in times of high volume, this type of response may not be the norm, but for me, it was good timing for an "atta-boy."
Of course, I will continue to strive for no rejections.

I get some really helpful tips from the editors too. When all the letter has is a link to read more it's not that helpful. However, when they give you examples and show you what you did wrong, or give tips to make it better it's fantastic! I'm even getting better with my comma's :) I really hate those little buggers.

Hi Tianna,
While it's great to receive tips from the editors, I don't think it's something we can count on. I'm sure they're backed up with a passel of articles to approve (or disprove).
Congratulations on the sale of your first article that I noticed you mentioned in another post. Here's to many more in the near future. Isn't it fun?

Thanks :) Yeah it's really fun when you sell something lol I don't expect the editors to always give always give us tips, but it would be really nice.
