Presumably, Keith, Malcolm knew nothing about this when he was in CRU. I seem to get a mention in the letter to Pacchauri.

I am currently talking w/ lawyers--the best option would be to have their request (or, more to the point, any possible subpoena that might follow it up) dismissed in court as frivolous in nature. Naturally, my response aims to drive home how frivolous the request is (in particular, how it is based on transparently false premises). Any suggestions/comments would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance for any feedback, mike ______________________________________________________________ Professor Michael E.
