Personally, I only trust quotes that have a real name attached. A general term like "analysts" or "sources" could mean anything from the real deal to some rumors the reporter heard in the local bar. Anonymized web handle means nothing.

If you can't issue press releases without using web handles I wouldn't bother.

I know Heading Out's reputation, but to the end-user reading the repackaged press release "some guy on the internet says..." is a joke.

You have twice launched drive by ad hominem attacks on Khebab and me, in both cases leveling serious accusations. The latest one is in the original Bush/Saudi thread. Unlike Khebab and me, you don't provide an e-mail link. I would appreciate it if you would address the questions in the captioned post.

BTW, regarding the initial Saudi decline, the 2006 decline rate was -4.3%/year (EIA, C+C). The 2007 decline rate will probably be between -4.5%/year and -5%/year. The long term Texas decline rate was -4%/year.
