Dear Steve,
I have heard from my two readers of your paper and I sorry to say that neither felt able to recommend its publication in JCS.
Since neither submitted a detailed report, I cannot give you the reasons for their decision. This is annoying for you as an author and awkward for me as an editor. But if a busy scholar reads through a paper, judges it unsuitable for publication, and decides not to spend further time on it, we have to accept that. At least they both responded fairly quickly.
Yours sincerely,
Anthony.
