In which case, this [quoted verbatim from the same page]:

For the purposes of this comparison, the author is agnostic as to which, if any, of the reconstructions of global mean temperature is an accurate reflection of temperature fluctuations during the last 2000 years. However, since this plot is a fair representation of the range of reconstructions appearing in the published scientific literature, it is likely that such reconstructions, accurate or not, will play a significant role in the ongoing discussions of global climate change and global warming.

Says a lot.

... still hoping that Neil will disclose and [unless he is its author] perhaps credit, the source of his graph.

I think you answered your own question, Robin

Unless and until the time comes that it is not "more than O.K." ... Just use it.

It was a pun, andrew

Err, but ... the standard did change [albeit largely unnoticed], which is what I mentioned to Mark.

You probably need some of these, Mike [many sizes on the drop-down list] : **LINK**

Tripod threads were Whitworth ... They are now UNC [and have been for some years], specified to a sufficiently loose fit that they are 'compatible' with Whitworth.

It's all there in the standard.

Sorry to see you go, Andrew

It will be the forum's loss, not yours !

Hopefully things will settle-down again, to a state where diversity of knowledge and experience amongst members is seen as a benefit.

... I, for one, have learned a lot from you ... 'though you do much bigger work, on much bigger machines, than I ever shall.
