Ah! It's jellyologist! You are the fellow that insists there is PLENTY of oil, aren't you? And you are the fellow who Stuart reminded that world discoveries peaked in the early 1960s. You geologists must surely be off your game if world discoveries have gone down, down, down for 40+ years! Why, I'd say that must be sheer incompetence, especially since there must be SO MUCH OIL out there!
You should haul your butt back to work, jellyologist. You and your wife have a lot of oil to find in the next few years. Or maybe you are not a competent geologist at all, eh? Well, whatever you are, you are NOT finding much oil lately, are you? And neither are your geologist friends.
*end sarcasm, for the sarcasm impaired*

The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function. - Dr. Albert Bartlett
I'm getting the feeling that since this fellow (and/or his "geologist" wife) seem to want to spout opinions without either facts or data to back them up, and have used the "appeal to authority" dodge in their posts, what we have here is just another troll. Again, TODers, kindly just ignore them and they will go away.
