At no time did I "take a shot" and say you do not know the industry. That was your confession.

I've SEEN supertankers and I know about UNDERWATER pipelines for offshore wells. I'm very familiar with the industry and have had friends and relatives knocked off decks in the Gulf and killed. You misread my comment about dry wells. Oil was pumped from those wells from 1948 when the field was first discovered until sometime in the late 1960s and then they were declared dry. Now they are reopened and producing plenty of oil. i'm glad that your claim to fame is that you were a rig worker and got promoted to greasing pumping equipment. It takes lots of people assuming various jobs so we can enjoy the benefits of driving our gas guzzlers. Thank you for your 10-year contribution.
