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.
