Sounds like everything should be good here. I'm sorry If I might have seemed to over-react, but it was just to make sure we avoided the scenario of last year where we had to end up publishing a followup letter because we and Phil hadn't had adequate communication before the piece was published. I'll look forward to seeing the piece in print. It sounds like you guys have a done a very good job. Indeed, Tim and we had a very constructive dialogue about things in your absence. Will be in touch. best regards, mike p.s. I mentioned to Phil it would be nice to get at least one spatial pattern of your summer dendro temperature estimates into IPCC, along with a pattern or two from our multiproxy recons. I haven't heard back to Phil, but perhaps you can make a specific suggestion, and send me an appropriate postscript file? It's not too late to get this to Chris Folland for inclusion in the initial draft. Thanks in advance... _______________________________________________________________________ Michael E.
