guys, I see that Science has already gone online w/ the new issue, so we 
put up the RC post. By now, you've probably read that nasty McIntyre 
thing. Apparently, he violated the embargo on his website (I don't go 
there personally, but so I'm informed).

Anyway, I wanted you guys to know that you're free to use RC in any way 
you think would be helpful. Gavin and I are going to be careful about 
what comments we screen through, and we'll be very careful to answer any 
questions that come up to any extent we can. On the other hand, you 
might want to visit the thread and post replies yourself.  We can hold 
comments up in the queue and contact you about whether or not you think 
they should be screened through or not, and if so, any comments you'd 
like us to include.

You're also welcome to do a followup guest post, etc. think of RC as a 
resource that is at your disposal to combat any disinformation put 
forward by the McIntyres of the world. Just let us know. We'll use our 
best discretion to make sure the skeptics dont'get to  use the RC 
comments as a megaphone...
