Hi Rebecca! Thanks a ton for your updates and in hindsight I realize 
that I skimped on the processes a little bit so my apologies for that.

The text seems easier to read so I support your proposal.

After some discussion with Carsten, I have realized that it was 
inappropriate of me to nitpick this text and I'd like to withdraw my 
suggestions. I think it's best for this text to remain as-is.

In conclusion, my apologies again for floating a whole bunch of comments 
at the last minute in a hurry without proper consideration and my thanks 
for handling them so very well. I'm quite happy with the editorial shape 
of the draft now.

Cheers,
Ujjwal
