Motivation: The reasons for rejection were a combination of misgivings about how our analysis had been carried out and a topic that was too restricted in its geographic relevance to be of wide interest.

There were a few comments that we feel betray some unfamiliarity with the type of analysis we carried out but other than this the feedback was comprehensive and will be useful when we resubmit to another journal. On this basis while the process took a long time, we feel the editorial staff took care in sourcing reviewers that will ultimately improve our article.

Motivation: After one month and a half since the submission, the paper was rejected with no external review. Besides 'copied-and-pasted' default statements, the only original information provided by the editor in the decision letter was that the content of the paper was of local importance only.
