"...while the editor has not yet had a chance to genarate his disposition yet (and I am afraid that I am unable to give a firm date for this as we are still waiting on one or two late referees) what I can do is append the reports as we now have them.

Apologies that I can do no more for now but I hope that once published the wait will have been worth it!

Finally, I must add that please do not act on the recommendations of the referees until you receive the editor's full disposition, as he will guide your revision process to best suit bbs' needs."
