     Hi phil,
     thanks again--wow, there is a lot going on I wasn't even aware of. Thanks for keeping me
     posted. Meanwhile, MM have submitted a comment to Nature and we have already written a
     reply. I thought I had sent to you, but if not here (confidentially) is their comment
     and our reply. I hope to incorporate much from that reply into the revision of the
     Climatic Change paper if Nature doesn't run the exchange (as I hope and expect) after
     reviewres see their comment and our reply. I think this reply is even stronger than our
     submitted C.C. paper, because we've done more additional analyses to address several
     other of their compaints, and try to drive home the point w/ cross-validation.
     Ray, Malcolm and I need to finalize this early next week, after I return. Please let me
     know if you have any comments!
     thanks again for all your help w/ everything. HOpe to have revised figures 5 and 8 for
     you before I leave...
     mike
