Latest review

First review round: 8.7 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Editorial process was prompt but after requesting four potential reviewers be excluded from the Reviewer pool, one of them was still selected as a reviewer. The inclusion of this Reviewer led to a laborious back-and-forth that did not improve the quality of the manuscript. The other two reviewers made many comments that improved the manuscript. The paper was accepted but I don't plan to submit to NPP while the current Editors remain.
