Motivation: The process was otherwise smooth, but one referee had clearly not read the manuscript carefully and returned a report with comments that were, frankly, strange. We prepared a detailed response, after which the manuscript remained under review for almost three months. During that period, we contacted the editor several times and received only template replies. When the acceptance finally arrived, it became clear that the delay had been caused by the same referee, who had not submitted the final report at all.

Motivation: We got a single short review asking us to shorten the manuscript and write a more focused discussion. It was clear that the reviewer had not read the paper in detail. For example, he/she identified several points made in the manuscript as being interesting. Half of these were actually just citing/explaining/discussing other people's work. Overall it was a very poor review. We resubmitting after shortening the manuscript by about 10% and the editor accepted it without further review.

Motivation: The reviewers made useful comments. One recommended a minor revision and the other a rejection. The editor asked us to re-submit the paper. In the end, one of the reviewers disagreed with a couple of our claims in the manuscript but he was OK with it being published. I was very happy with the editor and reviewers overall.
