Fully agree and I really appreciate your article. I have been struggling myself with a 300 words letter to the editor for almost one year until quit it. At the same time, a preprint from the same letter summited on the same day already has 4 citations. Perhaps you may enjoy the story "Academic Drama: When Santos-Dumont Almost Quit His Airplane Ideas in 1906

From a grant denied and a paper harshly rejected to the very first public fly in Europe".
