So nicely coinciding with a period in which I have no time, I have had a burst of over 100 comments in the last week, lately on the temperature record reliability attack article. (Yeah, I know it no PZ Meyers level of activity, but it is all relative, right?)
For the first time in my illustrious blogging career I have not even read them! (which I regret).

I peeked. It's a circle-jerk between crakor, vernon and richard.
Get a room, dudes.
For a moment there i thought you were talking about me, who is this "crakor" of which you speak of dogs arsa?
I suspect a lot of this started up again as a result of the package sent by the Heartland Inst. to hundreds of TV weather folks. The package contained a glossy booklet with an article claiming the temp. record is unreliable.
