Pretty sad when folks like thestreet.com have to scavenge boards like this to find something to write about (why don't they talk to the industry?). Then, of course, they, like most "reporters", take the comments out of context and add their own twist.

My original post said the announcement is likely to TEMPORARILY depress drillers DEPENDING on the SPIN. And I expected a GOOD SPIN. (The announcement has not been made yet. Maybe Monday.)

Re the "high level exec", thestreet.com blib tries to give me credit where credit is not due I suspect they did this to give some validity to the first part of their paragraph. (Since they imply that I know what I am talking about in the second instance, it makes the first part more valid.)

However, they are totally wrong. I said a drilling executive, not an oil company executive. Maybe they don't know the difference, but I do. I chose my words correctly. The Cabot O&G fellow they tried to give me credit for is 100% wrong. I said a driller and I mean a driller. I didn't/don't know ANYTHING about this Cabot guy.

So any of you that actually pay for inforamtion from a site like that now have a first hand example of the reliability of the information. While they did say it was all rumor, they should at least get the rumor right.

Maybe they would like for me to write for them...hell, I could use an outlet for my abundant creative energy...
