I have found that recent enquiries under the Freedom of Information Act, or Data Protection Act, can become considerable time sinks , or the basis of some inconvenient subsequent distractions. with best wishes Keith At 12:38 09/10/2008, you wrote: Dear Keith, Tom has applied to do a PhD with me (probably mesoscale modelling). Could you please give me a reference for him. In particular I would be interested to know if you would take him in your group (and why you think he is still available; which is good for me..., but I always worry at this time of year).
