Dear Dr Pellet,

Thank you for your extensive replies to the comments of the reviewers. As you will have noticed, both reviewers highlight their interest in the study but also identify the need for significant revisions to the manuscript. Therefore I request you to submit a revised version, which will be sent for further review. Your replies to the reviewers will certainly be helpful for this new round of review; however please do ensure that your explanations and suggested improvements are properly reflected in the revised manuscript as well, as they may be beneficial to future readers.

Kind regards

Dear Dr Pellet,

Again my apologies for the long processing time of the manuscript. This was due to the unavailability of one of the previous reviewers to review the revised manuscript, which required me to find a new reviewer. This took longer than expected. However, I am very pleased to let you know that both reviewers have now endorsed the manuscript for publication, and that therefore I have accepted it for publication.


Kind regards
