Hi Tim,

I definitely want to cite this paper! Right now, my paper only has pers 
com for the ECHO-G sensitivity being
similar to our EBM sensitivity of 2.5 in the electronic supplement - 
that definitely needs a citation (and
science wants written permission for pers coms so I postponed that to 
the revised version, but a paper to cite
is much better anyway - I should have asked you but had run out of time 
so postponed that.....sorry!!!).
I am still a bit nonplussed that this model has relatively high decadal 
variability
(more than our reconstruction unforced residual) and a quite modest 
sensitivity - do you know why? (Suki
had this theory based on stochastic climate model theory that level of 
variability is related to climate
sensitivity so high sens high var, but it seems to not always work like 
this)

paper looks nice - I don't think it affects our main result that the 
reconstruction technique works since
for that test the model only needs somewhat decent teleconnections but 
not necessarily
everything realistic) - I thought there must be some drift in one of the 
runs because the inter runs variability
has a trend which makes no sense unless one of the runs drift.
But I need to consider your results when looking again at my single 
fingerprint detection  - I don't think it
changes things, but it will change discussion of differences a bit - 
although i think that the overestimated
volcanism is probably partly due to forcing differences.
