Why do you think so?

That's not quite accurate. I sent the article to the O'Reilly Net editor a few
times, in which he passed critique on it. The last time I sent it to him, I
waited for quite a long time, and so believed I won't get an answer.
Throughout the all time, I wasn't sure that the article will be published
there and the editor's purpose was to make sure the article was good enough.
After I waited for a while, I sent it to the Freshmeat editor. Then, a few
days since, I received a reply from the O'Reilly Net editor with extra
critique of the article. I did not have a chance to respond to it, because I
was busy in other things. A few days afterwards, I received a notice from the
Freshmeat editor that he edited the article, and was about to publish it. So
it had to be published there.
