forgot my hex from the great days of this thread (2aa4? and another), anyway: Sounds like some excellent and some normal news to me! Congrats! If you feel brave, add a link with a small acknowledgement of this thread on your homepage where you list the paper... if you don't feel brave, that's how I would feel.
New "Family Ruptures" AER / NBER is rip-off of obscure paper
-
So this "not a valid source of information" has now resulted in one of the most bizarre footnotes in the history of academia, a followup comment, and a response from the authors, all in the discipline's flagship journal, and the editor won't even allow this site's name to appear in that journal?
Brett, are you trying to "cite" anonymous comments here? Refusing to allow such an acknowledgement seems to me to just one more ethical lapse from the AER editors.

My current acknowledgement is: "I would like to acknowledge the support of anonymous economists at econjobrumors.com who played a critical role in helping me to formulate the ideas contained within this note."
I need to phrase it in a way that doesn't use the name of this site.Just thank your bros, Brett. We'll know what you mean. Besides, its us who should thank you.

How about?
"I would like to acknowledge the support of anonymous economists at [redacted] who played a critical role in helping me to formulate the ideas contained within this note."
Overall, this is great news, Brett. I am delighted to see that your hard work, diligence, and willingness to step forward has paid off.

I am very pleased you comment got accepted. I don't see the fuss about mentioning EJMR on either side. I do though think it's an "ordinary" comment pointing out a weakness in the methodology as opposed to the processing of the original paper and its literature citations.
To be fair to AER, it's now one of the few journals that will publish comments. Remember Rubinstein's fracas at QJE.
