Cricket Magazine Group Rejection

Could anyone who's received a rejection from a Carus magazine (Babybug, Ladybug, Spider, Cricket, Cicada) tell me if their rejection slip said this:

". . . we regret to inform you that we do not find it [your material] appropriate for our publications."

I've gotten this from Cicada and Cricket, and wonder if it is simply standard rejection-speak. I try not to read too much into these things, but being told my material is inappropriate makes me wonder if I was REALLY off the mark or just foul or something :b

Thanks!

That is what my rejection from Babybug said

At least they respond!

Just keep submitting, Jen. You've got stiff competition - and don't forget to submit those rejections elsewhere.

All the best!

I just sent some very basic, 8-10 word poems to baby bug about 4-6 weeks ago haven't heard back. How long till you recv rejection letter?

Same form rejection from cricket for me. Sent July 7, 2004, came back on Dec 1, 2004, so five month turn around on my manuscript.
