   Thanks Mike
   It seems to me that this "Kinne" character's words are disingenuous, and he probably
   supports what De Freitas is trying to do. It seems clear we have to go above him.
   I think that the community should, as Mike H has previously suggested in this eventuality,
   terminate its involvement with this journal at all levels--reviewing, editing, and
   submitting, and leave it to wither way into oblivion and disrepute,
   Thanks,
   mike

     Phil, Tom, Mike,
     So, this would seem to be the end of the matter as far as Climate Research is concerned.

     Dear colleagues,
     In my  20.06. email to you I stated, among other things, that I would ask CR editor
     Chris de Freitas to present to me copies of the reviewers' evaluations for the 2 Soon et
     al. papers.
     I have received and studied the material requested.
     Conclusions:
     1) The reviewers consulted (4 for each ms) by the editor presented detailed, critical
     and helpful evaluations
     2) The editor properly analyzed the evaluations and requested appropriate revisions.
     3) The authors revised their manuscripts accordingly.
     Summary:
     Chris de Freitas has done a good and correct job as editor.
     Best wishes,
     Otto Kinne
