@Eddie Holmes - what do you think about the idea of contacting George, complaining about Jesse's imperialist letter, and suggesting that we try to work in parallel. We may not agree on the interpretation of the data but that isOK - we can at least give honest opinions.

In context

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

Sorry for nonresponsiveness @Kristian Andersen - offline for a bit of work on the house while Jeanette is still inGeneva helping Stefani with Abi. This is probably an ignore all the way around for the reasons cited in the general thread. First priority - Let's continue to absolutely bullet-proof those papers and fight like hell to get them into Science. My guess is she will try to contact the editors there and that will indeed be worth a fight. Bottom line is that these 2 papers are devastating to 4$ and the leakers. Let's claim that victory.

I very much doubt that Caroline will be responsive to an email from her.

I think it would just encourage her

@kristian Andersen Did Mike say what Mitch Benzine was up to? Does it need discussing?

He didn't say.

I'm not contacting George. He's off my Christmas card list. He's a lying shit who has destroyed I. Also, he clearly thinks that the analysis is done so if ask to work with him he'll take it as a bit of an insult. st he'll pass this request to a minion. Plus, any email to George is on FOIA-watch. If you want to contact George please go ahead but I'm not. I'll go 'hough zz
