[MTSUGURL]

One of the things that always rubs me the wrong way is when I see at the end of a rush thread - "It's ok that I didn't get in now. There's always AI." There isn't ALWAYS AI. You can see by looking at the threads of the successful AI stories here (and the not so successful ones) on GC that it's a long sometimes arduous journey that doesn't always end how one thinks it might. But, that doesn't mean that the journey shouldn't be started. One thing it hopefully means is that we have matured since collegiate rush, understand what mutual selection means, can graciously accept the end of the journey good or bad.
