Steve, Jeff Condon just received legal notice about the CG3 password. Please be careful.

“Invert to elevate” was a principle first used successfully by Dick Fosbury to win a Gold Medai in the 1968 Olympics. Like he said, “I guess it did look kind of weird at first, but it felt so natural that, like all good ideas, you just wonder why no one had thought of it before me.” In Massachusetts, these words by his hero burned themselves into a young boy’s mind.

No 1 Blade Runner!

Not good in relays (timing of baton exchanges)

Has problems with head winds, especially easterlies!

Not good over hurdles, tendency to end up upside down

Runs well on the straight.

Ok on a left hand track, but cannot cope with a RH turn?

Intimidating burst speed from ring to ring long gone

Living on reputation, no longer features in major meetings

Now in the secondary “tweet” and “face” races

I think your suggestion misses Mr. FOIA’s point. He wasn’t just trying to protect people’s email addresses. He was trying to avoid placing personal emails that have nothing to do with the “science” in the public domain, out of an abundance of respect for the personal lives of the “scientists” at UEA and any of their correspondents. The emails you are referring to were first selected by 1 person (Mr. FOIA), then they were crowd sourced.

Re: Selgovae (Mar 15 16:55),

My Phil doesn’t just go round to just anybody’s house for tea. I have to make sure that they are quite respectable and don’t have any ‘sceptic’ or ‘de****’ tendencies. He’s a good boy is my Phil and I don’t want him led astray by Bad People.

And that nice Mrs. Mann tells me that Steven McIntyre and his gang of renegades and ne’erdowells get up to all sorts of funny things when they’re not supervised. Like checking academic papers and stuff.

Her dear sweet sensitive and much misunderstood Mikey was quite upset and had to go to bed early with a nice co
up of cocoa and a copy of Climate Fiction Illustrated (lots of lovley graphs for him to choose from) when he found out. The doctor said he’d had a fit of the vapours. But I think it was just a chill because of the cold weather……

One day perhaps your Jamaican sportsman will beat our Jamaican sportsman. Assuming that Jamaica resumes exporting their sportsmen that is.

Steve, a few bloggers won’t be able to read 200,000+ emails–if it takes 5 minutes to read an email, 5 x 200,000 = approx. 16,666 hours = 694 days to read all the emails. This is something that needs to be crowd-sourced. No need to release the password into the public domain. Just place ALL the emails into a MYSQL database and link it to an online search, the way the earlier climategate emails were–the search code automatically redacts the email headers/footers, email addresses and phone numbers, leaving just the body of the email messages, which is where the pertinent info will be.

LOL, this is cute, I hope that the athlete representing our European Union will ultimately beat your sportsman.

I feel that AE Dessler’s correlation coefficient (indistinguishable from zero) deserves wider recognition. Perhaps not an Olympian performance, but he did publish in Science nevertheless.
