Finding no objections, I suggest we move on to the issues steve wants to discuss and Tom can get room service when he places his credit card at the front desk or gives us a huge deposit of his own thinking or code. Don’t worry tom, he’ll get back to you. meanwhile could you opine for us on the issues of moisture limitation and while you are at it
bring me…..

Yes, talk to be about trees that were once shrubs

Re: steven mosher (#78), 1. couldn't agree more. Yes vote. 2. "quote mining" is a Pierrehumbertism.

Re: Tom P (#70), answer the questions for yourself. I don’t believe that the article states things as clearly as I wanted them stated from YOU. Here is the deal tom. You asked steve to fetch some graphs.
about 30 seconds later you complained. Then I challenged you to WRITE YOUR OWN R. you did. you screwed up.
Gavin endorsed your screw up. Every since you have gone to quote mining ( others words) and posting random graphs with no code ( maybe help from another) and now you are back to asking for room service. So I put simple question to you. that YOU can answer with your own brain. But again your refuse to put YOUR WORDS your complete thoughts
on paper and play this game of refering me to something else which CANNOT answer my questions to YOU. So, pull up
your big boy pants and answer the questions. People like you always complain about steve not publishing more in journals of your choosing. how about you publish your answers right here. Until you can think for yourself or say you don’t know I personally think steve should kick your requests for room service to the back of the line.

I know, lets take a consensus vote on that procedural matter. All in favor of making Tom wait until he actually.

1 admits his past errors ( no moving on allowed)
2. finishes Dr. benders assignment
3. answers my simple questions in his own words and thoughts.

I vote Yes

Some of you may already know but recently I was surprised to find Briffa’s sensitivity tests re-used the 12 trees it supposedly eliminated from Yamal. It means that if you use the same data and same math you get the same results.

This analysis shows that the recent century of Yamal isn’t unique for high growth.

Could we please bring the indulging of Tom P. to an end.

He’s a boor – plain and simple.
