There not my numbers and I'm not asserting that they are accurate. I am correcting your misunderstanding of hmaly's point. The numbers where just an example of that point. The point was simply that the cost of oil from the ocean wells was less then half of the cost that OPEC charges for oil. You attacked what you thought was his idea (that the offshore wells produce oil at a cost that is less then half of what it costs OPEC to produce oil). If hmaly actually was pushing that idea then it should be attacked because its nonsense, but you where attacking a straw man, even if you where not doing so intentionally. I'm not even asserting that Hmaly's point was true (although I am fairly certain that it is), I'm just point out that he didn't post the idea that you where attacking. Tim
