{{cquote|[2009 email, Mike Mann to Phil Jones] On a completely unrelated note, '''I was wondering if you, perhaps in tandem w/ some of the other usual suspects, might be interested in returning the favor this year''' ;) '''I've looked over the current list of AGU fellows''', and it seems to me that there are quite a few who have gotten in (e.g. Kurt Cuffey, Amy Clement, and many others) '''who aren't as far along as me in their careers, so I think I ought to be a strong candidate.''' anyway, I don't want to pressure you in any way, but if you think you'd be willing to help organize,I would naturally be much obliged. Perhaps you could convince Ray or Malcolm to take the lead? The deadline looks as if it is again July 1 this year. looking forward to catching up w/ you sometime soon, probably at some exotic location of Henry's choosing ;) mike <ref>http://tomnelson.blogspot.com/2012/01/i-scratched-your-back-you-scratch-mine.html</ref>}}

{{cquote|BUT this must be done calmly , and in the meantime a restrained statement but out saying we have full confidence in Mike's objectivity and independence - which we can not say of the sceptics.

In fact I am moved tomorrow to contact Nature and urge them to do an editorial on this . The political machinations in Washington should NOT dictate the agenda or scheduling of the work - but some cool statement can be made saying we believe the "prats have really f***ed up someway" - and that the premature publication of their paper is reprehensible . Much of the detail in Mikes response though is not sensible (sorry Mike) and is rising to their bate. Keith At 11:55 AM 10/30/03 -0500, raymond s. bradley wrote:
