Endless root canal?? No that's barely bearable. When you invest in the drillers you have entered the seventh level of Dante's Inferno. -- there you must "... Leave all hope behind, when you enter". Tulvio

<<when Sartre wrote No Exit it was really a parable about investing in the oil
service sector.>>

ROFL, Chuzzy. It's feeling more and more like either Dante's Inferno or Irwin Allen's The Towering Inferno, as well. We're just sorta trapped in a hell of our own making. It's getting to the point where I feel the need to quote Jimmie Rogers: "Forget about return on capital, just give me back my CAPITAL!"
