After submission, the journal sent no notification of progress. The on-line submission site stated "in progress." Three months in, I inquired on the status of the manuscript and was told they had received reviewer feedback and were waiting on another reviewer. Five months in, I inquired again - same response. Seven months in, I proposed additional reviewer names. Entering the ninth month, I withdrew the manuscript. The editorial staff obviously knew what they were doing. I had to conclude probable malice.
