As you note/noted/have_noted
Tod: Swine Flue is very serious.
Bob: This is, _______________, a serious situation that we are treating aggressively.
(a) as you note
(b) as you noted
(c) as you have noted
Could someone explain to me and, more importantly, provide some examples, as to the correct way to use "note", in the right sense, in different context? I'm especially confused about the Tenses.
I heard these expression very often, especially in the Senate hearing of Sotomayor. So I guess lawyers like to use the word "note" a lot. Couldn't they just say, "as you said," "as you've said before"?

A, B and C will all fit into the sentence, with no significant difference in intent, since the noting has just occurred. Tense problems (and here there are none) have nothing to do with the verb 'note'. ' Note ' = 'say particularly and purposefully'.
