I have just returned from a conference in the US to see the RAPID referee's 
comments and
your reply. I am sorry not to have given you any comments but NERC's 
deadline seems
unnecessarily short. Anyway I agree with your approach to the cosmic ray 
-cloud thing i.e.
remain circumspect but aware.  You could have referred to the extension of 
the analysis
from 1994 to 1998 showing the relationship between cosmic rays and low 
cloud going away.
However, an paper from a Norwegian group at the meeting I have just been to
shows that a much stronger correlation occurs between low cloud and TSI. 
Interesting!!
