When I couldn’t use my name as the author name (because they apparently only allow a single instance of any one name), I thought “hm, that’s annoying.” And I put in the name of the guy who’s desk is next to mine, thereby sticking it to the man.

When I gave their article submission tool a whirl, I thought “wow, these people don’t know when to stop…a little simplicity (and elegance) can go a long ways.”

When I submitted an article to see their process, I started thinking “man, they sure take a while to review articles, compared to the other sites I’ve tried.”

When the article was rejected, I re-read their submission guides to see what I had missed. Too many keywords. Check.

When the article was rejected again, this time for different reasons, I thought “well, that’s annoying.” So I re-read the guidelines again to see what I had missed. Apparently someone thought that a nested list meant ‘improper formatting of a list.’ Duly noted.

When the article was rejected a third time for yet-again different reasons, I thought “this can’t really be worth the effort, can it? I’ve already seen solid results with another of the sites I’ve tried.”

I have a hard time believing that ezinearticles is worth going through these hoops.
