Our emails crossed - I sent a supportative email to MBH with a copy of our 
MAGICC-vs-ECHO-G manuscript and I dug out the email that Sonja B-C had sent 
after publishing M&M.

But after just now reading Mike's draft response that you forwarded, which 
is in Mike's usual provocative rather than placatory tone(!), I will keep a 
low profile as you suggests.  However...

...they may well be asking for all the temperature station data again, 
since this is indeed raised in the IPCC letter - "Are the data and 
methodologies for such works complete and available for other researchers 
to test and replicate?"  I'd guess your US DoE funding means that you would 
be under some obligation to respond if they were to direct their enquiry 
towards you!

Hope Rome's not too unbearable - 37C on the forecast!

Cheers
