The referees provided many detailed comments on the first version of your paper and my impression is that you have considered all these comments carefully and in the relatively small number of cases where you have not made changes to the paper to address the comments there is a good reason for that. Given the nature of this paper I feel that more will be gained by publication at this stage, accepting that it might have imperfections, than by consulting the referees again and then potentially requiring further revision. I am therefore pleased to accept the paper for publication in ACP.

I note that in your responses to referees (which will be viewable) the response to point (v) of Referee 3 says 'discussing the pearls associated with' when presumably you intended to say 'discussing the perils associated with'.
