Brandon Ambrosino has come up with a dozen snappy replies to rejections and other nettlesome comments from editors to freelancers, including this answer to a $20 payment for a story: "That’s very generous.

Just so you know, the story you want to pay me $20 for took 10 hours to complete. Do the math."
