Looks like Prof Goose has added the Ghawar story to Slashdot. Visit the firehose and up vote it and we'll see if it gets posted.

Digg and Reddit appear to be blackballing theoildrum.com for the moment. I'd guess the small scope of the usual posters and the poor submission to acceptance ratio.

consider a different idea for the blackballing, perhaps denial. or unfamiliarity with any of the subjects. Who even knows what/where/who/when Ghawar is when its submitted, titles mean alot.(my opinion of digg is 12-20 year olds in terms of 'emotional intelligence' with some more mature individuals trying to cut the cheese)

my suggestion is, "LARGEST OIL FIELD, GHAWAR, IN COLLAPSE"

there is a difference between 'selling' a point and convincing people.
