No miracle file associated with this one. Just junk. One never knows.

Bill F’s suggestion on supplementary link(s) sounds good, which would provide detail and elaboration on various points.

I imagine Nature would frown on any early release of content – like all press, they want the first shot.

The article may be the first exposure many people have to you and Ross – as a general rule, sarcasm doesn’t make a good first impression, light humor does.

We’re at about 1500 words. We’ll try splitting it up in 3 bites. I’m a little tired of editing down for NAture’s benefit. They also insisted on the deletion of some specific content (the part they wanted us to delete is sarcastic.) I’ll discuss this on another occasion.

Circulate it among regulars and we’ll take a stab at editing it down. Then you choose your favorite edition. Distributed massively parallel processing, it’s all the rage.

So shorten it to 500 words by including links to supplemental posts that lead readers to CA posts on various topics. Kills two birds with one stone…gets your comment posted on their blog AND gets a link to CA that somehow wasn’t included in their blogroll.

Ross and I submitted a comment to the Nature blog today. It was rejected. They said that we had to shorten it to 500 words. Sound familiar?

#41 — I second that.

Also, I wonder whether Nature’s initial enthusiasm (PaulM #39) was tempered not from bullying but from Nature’s own chagrin at discovering the cogence of the opposition to the Hockey Stick. Nature, in the past, has revealed itself partisan on the issue. It may not need bullying to restrict criticisms it does not like and cannot answer.

Steve M.,

I am completely disgusted with von Storch and Zorita, although not surprised. For them to have the nerve not to mention all of the work you have done is ludicrous. I apologize for all of the legitimate scientists that know the contributions that you have made. There are still some of us left that have a sense of morality.
