What's with the new tone geared towards people new to peak oil? I've never seen TOD explain peak oil basics in a post.
What I've liked most about TOD is that it has been geared to those already well versed in peak oil fundamentals. There are plenty of primers and intro sites on the basics of peak oil. TOD has always been a very valuable source for deeper and more technical analysis, please keep it that way. I know you may be getting more traffic from people who are new to the topic, but don't become just another intro to peak oil site - find a prominant way to refer them to the primers, and invite them back when they know more.
