In fact, it’s my understanding they won’t even physically keep them around. See, they get hundreds of them a week, and it’s virtually inevitable that sooner or later they will write and publish an article vaguely similar to one that had been sent in X months ago by T. Joeblow from Madison, WI. So they face a nightmare of copyright fights if they have unsolicited submissions lying around. their standing policy is thus not to accept or retain any. But thanks for the compliments. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dammit-i-need-my-onion/108050.md?page=1)
