Subject	Re: Revised Version!
Thanks Kevin, Those are helpful--Tom C. has returned from travels and will be providing comments shortly. Will incorporate those and any others I receive into a revised version, which I hope to send out (w/ Figure 1 included) tonight or tomorrow, mike p.s. Tom W is taking the lead on preparing a companion, more targeted commentary, to be submitted to "Climate Research". Any one else interested should contact Tom...

Note that, with the number of references we have, we are currently just about at the word limit for the piece. We shouldn't go over 1400 words, which puts some tight constraint on any additions, etc. I hope to forward a draft of Figure 1 later on this afternoon. I'm assuming that Phil can take care of Figure 2 (Phil?--Scott has graciously indicated his willingness to help if necessary), but its pretty clear what this figure will show, so I don't thinks its that essential that we have that figure done to try to finalize the draft. I'll attempt one final(?) revision of the text based on any remaining comments you may have--please try, if possible, to keep the suggested changes minimal at this point. I'll assume that anyone we haven't yet heard back from in the author list over the next day or so is unable to be a co-author, and will respectfully drop them from the author list any related future emailings. Thanks all for your help. Its rare to have every single co-author make substantial contributions to improving the draft, and that was clearly the case here... mike ______________________________________________________________ Professor Michael E.
