Dear Editor-of-Papermill-Journal-XY, opening an #unsolicited #account with my credentials, then demanding to review shit not even close to any field I ever worked in, following by increasingly pestering "reminders" to #review and requiring to name ten other reviewers if I can't, is NOT the way to do it.

  5. Way back when I had no idea how to version my projects, I bumped the number based on how many changes there were.

    So for example, if the last version was 1.5.x and I added 3 new things and fixed 5 bugs, the new version would be 1.8.5.
