We don't completely disagree. My experience is that journals know what they want (at least where I submit), but in any particular issue, there are issues. Maybe it's late (more often than not), or, whatever. I've never been discarded after an acceptance. So maybe I was meek about it in the first place, but I learned not to panic. But, as I mentioned, had I not pressed about a lost response to a particular accepted poem, not sure how that would have worked out.
