No sweat. If you ever want to know anything else - the biz is in my blood. I sweat crude.
I just wish the news guys would make distinctions. We're always getting such a bad rap.
I was in CA once - right after Kuwait was invaded. Big front page headline - 'gas up 10 cents - calls to probe for gouging.' Two page article. The last paragraph of the last page snuck in 'of course, 5 cents of that was a raise in gas tax.'
Congressional probe after probe. Front page headlines everytime one starts. Back page sentence when nothing is found.
