There was no disclosure of the deletion. As an IPCC reviewer in 2006, I asked that they show the deleted values and discuss. They refused.

When I read this in April 2003, I could not believe that science

It prompted me to request FTP location of Mann's data (as Mann was leader in field). Mann's response was even more bizarre. He said that he had forgotten location of data, but one of his students would provide location to me.

In response, Mann said that we had used "wrong" dataset. He embellished story with series of lies, e.g. that we had asked for data in an Excel spreadsheet (FALSE) - Excel spreadsheets being associated with amateurs.

But we had. The lies seemed particularly bizarre since we could readily rebut them simply by producing emails (which we did). But the smear was effective. Months later, Phil Jones still sneered

In business, I'd learned long ago that someone who lies in one matter is likely to lie in others. So these peculiar lies very much intensified my interest in getting to the bottom of the matter.

Mann refused, Nature refused and NOAA refused. Years later, Climategate emails showed that Osborn of UEA had previously asked Mann for residual series. Mann provided them

These residual series would immediately show the failed verification r2 statistic which Mann had concealed
