I was looking through some CG2 emails today for something else, and I came across this one. Email #3538. It is funny. For those who don’t know what the “before and after” portion of the game is about, this Yahoo answers might be helpful.
Here’s the relevant portion of the email (bold mine):

Jacopo,
I’m not going to comment on your text, because
your report is awful. I thought you wanted a balanced
report. What you’ve written isn’t. You’ve not understood
any of what was said on the Real Climate Audit web site.
You have several words wrong and what you say doesn’t
make sense at times. But you don’t seem to want to
discuss proper climate science.
Phil
Heh. Proof positive McIntyre really got into Jones head.

Tom Nelson has a relevant email also:
Email 1342, June 2008, Phil Jones on his own keen mental powers: “I get people coming up to me now saying we met in 199? and have no recall of our meeting – sometime no recall of even going to the meeting where I was supposed to have met them!”
This is fine. I don’t remember talking to you at IUGG in Boulder ! I am approachable though and have talked to lots of people. I get people coming up to me now saying we met in 199? and have no recall of our meeting – sometime no recall of even going to the meeting where I was supposed to have met them!

This is one of those great trail head posts that leads to other interesting topics. In reading the post, I topic jogged to geomagnetic associations with weather and climate. There I was reminded of archeomagnetic jerks which immediately put me in mind of dendrochronology jerks in the news. That in turn made me think of the bristle cone pine that made history. It seems fitting that somebody somewhere should make a hockey stick from a bristle cone tree limb.
And on a related note, pertaining to Jones and “peer-review” (as demonstrated by another E-mail from CG2) …
There once was a scientist named Phil
Whose opinions of skeptics were shrill
To bring his cause to fruition
He would use intuition
And into data or code never drill.
Phil Jones keeps peer review process humming … by using “intuition”
It seems we stood and talked like this before…
We looked at each other in the same way then…
But i can’t remember where, or when…
The clothes you’re wearing are the clothes you wore…
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then,
But i can’t remember where, or when…
Some things that happen
For the first time,
Seem to be happening again,
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before,
And loved before…
But whoooo knows…
Where or when?
I think the email may have been referring to this article:

Beth – It has been some years since Mann has wore clothes. He has been as naked as a jaybird, for many years now. People only perceive clothing that isn’t really there. GK
