   Hi Scott -- reference got rejected and I've not had the heart to re-submit it (so far),
   even though most complaints weren't criticising the method we used to construct the data
   set (which therefore remain valid I think) but more related to the presentation.  However
   you could link here to the data list [1]http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/~timo/datapages/mxdtrw.htm
   with the sites used being those listed under the Rutherford et al. (2005) item on that
   page.  From the page there is a link to the ITRDB where the data series themselves can
   (mostly) be downloaded.  Obviously the gridded version that you are actually using, while
   described on this page, cannot currently be downloaded from it -- thought the series could
   be got from ITRDB and then the method described on this page could be used to recreate the
   gridded data.  Does that sound good enough?  If not and you think the gridded MXD data
   themselves need to be available then let me know and I'll see what I can do.
   Hope all's well with you.  I'm just finishing a hectic week of undergraduate exam paper
   marking -- 97 scripts, so far 70 are marked!
   Cheers
   Tim

     Hi Tim,
     I hope things are going well for you these days. I wanted to check again on the MXD data
     that we have been using and are using again in the current reconstructions (manuscript
     in progress). Are the data now public?  If so is there a reference? If not  how do you
     want to handle things? Do you want to be a co-author or should we just list you as the
     contact for the data?
     Thanks and best wishes,
     Scott
