1) It is good to see others working on CO2 problems on Mars.

2) I get on well with Don Musselwhite, and we had some good discussions in 2001 on this issue.

3) At the end of the day, I agree with Stewart and Nimmo that a liquid CO2 breakout model is not viable for the gullies - no subsurface liquid model works.

4) The Astrobiology paper is the outcome of this thought process and presents a snow thaw model for gully formation based on CO2 snow, not water snow.
