Not a member of the set
I've seen referees' reports for papers submitted to academic journals where the paper being refereed looked perfectly OK to me but the referee damned it. Different people, different judgements. Here's a bold concept: an online academic journal 'that publishes only papers that have been rejected from peer-reviewed journals (or conferences with comparable review standards) in the mathematical sciences'. Those submitting a (previously rejected) paper to Rejecta Mathematica must accompany it with an open letter; 'it is expected that the authors will discuss any known flaws in their paper with full and honest disclosure'. Is this a joke? The editors say no. (Thanks: PMc.)
