I'm not sure we're allowed to do that because (i) they explicitly said that correspondence with the journal was excluded and (ii) we'll need get approval from Nature. But, that does raise an issue of what Nature will think. So,perhaps I should run all these emails by Nature now anyway?

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

Eddie - "Supreme Commander", Andrew "Part Nerd, Part Schemer".

I think I'm more "The Fiddler" than the "Supreme Commander". I don't do leadership well.

"The Fiddler" - I like that... I don't know though - I think you do the "Commander" part pretty well. Whether supremeor not, is up for debate....

One question to the FOIA though - I _do_ think we need to make the reviews public as the emails make the Nature connection clear. The original version of the paper is still what's on Virological, correct?

Just off the phone with Betsy McKay - actually pretty good - they are going to do a series on origins, but just starting. YEs - not a bad idea to run emails by Nature - nothing there that's really a problem - I'm OK with "The Nerd" - I'mowning it!

Yeah, might be worth popping this by Nature - questions will for sure be asked ("did they get rejected because their natural hypothesis wasn't supported well enough"? Quite the opposite.... Still pissed about it).

Agree, Betsy is pretty good, but I'm unclear about her motives on origins - I guess we'll see...
