Subject: RE: Posting of confidential material without permission

Dear Dr McKitrick,

Thank you for your quick response. However, in spite of your assurance that you have removed the files in question, the site http://www.uoguelph.ca/~rmckitri/research/fallupdate04/update.fall04.html is still publicly available and contains confidential material. We trust this is an oversight, and ask you to remove this URL immediately. I also note that in our earlier letter we had indeed requested the removal of the URLs, rather than the removal of the links on your website.

With respect to your second point, could you please provide us with more specific information? We are not sure where you perceive confidential material being referenced in Prof. Mann's Corrigendum. 

Finally, please give the URL of Stephen Schneider's website at Stanford where you found confidential material from the Nature review process posted with public access. Without this information, we will not be able to pursue the issue.

Yours sincerely,

Rosalind Cotter
