Example Reviewer Excuse “I have completed several reviews this year and need to get to other things. Offhand I can't think of another qualified QOL reviewer.” Note: This person was asked to review 6 different times ( , , , , , ) and declined every time.

I am unable. I do not even understand the title. Happy Holidays! Best Reviewer Excuse
