I was referring to the link in #278, not in #303. Never mind. Apologies, rocks.

bender,
The date I saw is a date up on the left hand top real grey, it could be wrong.

TCO, no I don’t think so, whatever that means. I think you were acting as Ambassador [for all sides]-something per usual, which is not bad thing either.

And Correction: I meant to say “almost a year ago”, “not over a year ago”-

#302 Or rewarded by being asked to a review/reject a paper…

I found a post on a blog from over a year ago where Dr. Curry said :

" I came across this exchange entirely by accident while searching for something else. I am not a blogger and have never posted anything to a blog in my life"

2005-10-22 is the date for the topic. Steve Bloom/Eli Rabbit all in attendence
(TCO too )

I wonder why she wants to give the impression a year later she doesn’t really understand how blogs work? I find it odd, but I guess it could be understandable if I choose to see it a certain way. Yet, I also I wonder how many new email friends were made back then? [because she announced having acquired them here on departure-"thank you for your support " ]

Re #278, congratulations, your sleuthing uncovered a tag team of misanthropic misinformation. To paraphrase some Henry V, a nest of hollow bosoms, who for the gilt of France (read EU), would sell their people into the slavery and oppression of AGW theory. One has now promised to depart the scene. Rejoice therefore! For her time and troubles here, she will most likely be rewarded with a minor co-authorship of a GCM paper.

For the record, jae thinks TCO is a perfect example of a person with a high IQ, but no common sense.

I didn’t confuse anything, Jude. Was reaching out to you direct. Thanks for the response.

Re #286: TCO, you have somewhat confused the students reaction to my blogging vs my own reasons for blogging. re:

**Are we going to compare Lynn to jae and Gavin to Steve? Or Lynn to Steve and Gavin to jae? Capisce?

I have managed to sort this out over time, but the students were not able to really do this in the short amount of time they spent perusing the blog.

***Re
(1) Are you learning anything?
(2) Is the bender/Willis style criticism on target and helpful?
(3) Do you enjoy talking about these kinds of things.
(4) Do you enjoy hanging with intellecual he-men like TCO?
(5) Is it becoming addictive and hurting your real work?
(6) Are you getting your PR message accross?
(7) Are you learning about the animals in the zoo?

My reasons for blogging here in order are (2), (7), (3), (6)

My “work” is broadly defined, and it includes understanding the communication issues surrounding climate change. As I contemplate becoming more active in public communication and the policy process, I certainly need to learn more about the animals in the zoo. (6) and (7) are a big part of why I am here, although i really would like to get back to (2)
