Motivation: While the manuscript was ultimately accepted, there were lengthy delays and gaps in communication (months long) during which time no communication was received from the editorial staff, despite repeated contact attempts. Only one brief review was received prior to acceptance. Editorial staff was apologetic about the delays, but improvements are very much needed in their review processes.
