I regret it, and would not hesitate offering apologies for it. However, at the same time, it also is quite obvious that such things --- indefinite extensions in the paper submission stage, 2--3 weeks *after* the conference is over, and without letting authors know in any form --- is not the practice in science. Realize, the paper review will *begin* *after* the extensions in paper submissions come to an end. I was not commenting on paper reviews, or the proverbial Reviewer 2; I was commenting on the mechanics of it all. Normally, you submit a paper, give presentation, and respond to reviewer comments immediately before or after the presentation, and are done with it within a week of the conference. In that context, any frustration like mine is abundantly well justified, even though using bad words should be avoided, else the level of the discourse slips down. So, my willingness to apologize.<br /><br />Best,<br />--Pamphleteer AjitAjit R.
