I recently received a "revise and resubmit" from The Review of Economic Studies for a paper that is authored with my grad school advisor and another economist. It's a great journal, and I'm quite happy to be close to publishing in it. However, this is now the 3rd round of revisions requested by said journal. A brief scan of my hard drive shows drafts of this paper with the following dates:
6/6/2003
11/11/2003
9/8/2004
4/10/2005
4/27/2006
5/8/2006
11/9/2006
3/13/2007
5/11/2007
12/10/2007
So that's three and a half years of drafts for those of you scoring at home. I started working on this project in grad school, just as my fourth year had ended. One year of grad school, and now two and half years at UH, and I'm STILL revising this f$*#(-ing paper.
If this ever gets published I may have a bonfire party and burn that part of my hard drive.

Congrats on the R&R! I definitely feel your pain on the length of the process though. I've had many a bonfire thought myself.
Welcome to the world of writing and publishing! I do this every day as my job. (Yes, your sister still has it worse than you, you whiner.)
