<<Quick indeed, up till now>> Hmmm, down since Thursday. Let's see... Friday, Saturday, Sunday... that's only 3 days... looks like they've got another 0.7 days to fix it before they meet their average. <<If the pipe has been hit 16 times already that means it is insecurable until all the guerillas are dead. Which means it is probably uneconomic to run, quick repairs or not. Which means your point is moot. Nice try>> So why do they keep trying to fix it? (Rhetorical question) The facts still remain that: (1) The Cao Limn-Covenas pipeline was already down, so being down another day or two won't affect crude prices in the morning like you seemed to suggest when you said... <<Oops there goes another pipeline!>> and (2) Blown up pipelines are relatively easy to fix (average < 3.7 days in the jungles of Colombia). I know you don't want to help the shorts, but you ain't helpin' the longs much either. <ggg> How 'bout trying a different argument? Razordork
