It seems in my mind that the palaeo community does not need two of these papers. I was wondering if it would be worth considering collaborating on just one paper - with Rosanne and you being the primary authors? Our current version is ~6000 words, but is far from complete. I am also aware that we all have different ideas on this issue, but I think we all agree that it is most likely anthropogenically driven to a certain extent. I have also told Rosanne that you are writing a rebuttal paper to her 2004 GRL piece. In light of this, we need some discussion about this whole TTHH issue in the paper as well and Rosanne is happy to do this. We do not mind if you want to do your own paper, but I personally feel that combining all our ideas and experience together, a much better single paper would be the product. what do you think? regards Rob -- Professor Keith Briffa, Climatic Research Unit University of East Anglia Norwich, NR4 7TJ, U.K. Phone: +44-1603-593909 Fax: +44-1603-507784 [1]http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/people/briffa/
