I doubt this thread will disappear and I agree with you that the hook of the drilling and services sector will/should continue to lure attention. What seemed to happen here was a lot more than a case of I'm right, you're wrong. There have always been conflicts in the past, so no one should be surprised when these things occur. When the conflicts are based on points of view with the intention of helping, persuading or teaching others, then there are benefits to most everyone who reads the thread. When the conflicts are based upon putting the other person down for their views, then the conflicts add little to the common knowledge of those reading. If you want this type of entertainment, just turn on some afternoon talk show. I, for one, didn't mind being on 'wrong side' if I learned from the conflict. I did (and do) mind being involved in a useless mudslinging contest....what a waste of time and bandwidth.

jmo,
Michael
