Dear Dr Gardner,
Thank you for your Correspondence submission, which we regret we are unable to publish. Pressure on our limited space is severe, so we can offer to publish only a very few of the many submissions we receive.
However, we would like to draw your attention to our online commenting facility in case you would be prepared to post your letter there instead. In which case, please go to the original article on our website (http://www.nature.com/nature/archive/index.html) and enter your message in the box provided beneath it.
Thank you again for writing to us.
Yours sincerely,
Ella Kahn
Correspondence Assistant | Nature
Thanks, Ella, I’ll try the service entrance.
I didn’t want to say this in my initial letter, but I think Nature is honor bound to run it. Please tell the Correspondence Boss that it’s unethical to deny someone credit for their work. And it goes against my grain to demand it, but I am,
yours truly,
Fred Gardner
