date: Mon Dec 1 15:31:38 2003 from: Keith Briffa subject: Low Frequency Ambition and High Frequency Ratification to: eos@agu.org MESSAGE FOR KEITH ALVERSON re above request for me to review Keith I think it best if I decline the offer to review this . I am aware of the piece , and in fact declined to be an author. I think there are several things the authors need to explore and I have discussed these with them . In the circumstances , it is not appropriate for me to repeat the same points . I would suggest that perhaps Ed Cook might be considered , but perhaps he too is a little close to the authors. Malcolm Hughes would be an appropriate referee. Sorry , but I am sure this is the right course of action as regards my reviewing this.
