He does go to Texas......the #1 Petroleum Engineering school in the country......it is quite possible that that is his major and he knows more about the industry than you do. Everything he has said is legit. I've been around the Oil and Gas industry my entire life. Father is an executive, interned at major companies, etc. I'm completely qualified to answer any of those questions without searching teh fucking internets for a bunch of numbers and reports.

That's good, dude, but I don't know you at all. How the hell do I know your qualifications? If we were talking in a bar, I'd probably believe you because you would tell me these things - help me out, guy.
It's quite possible he's a petro eng - I don't know that. I went to a top journalism school, but don't know shit about it other than 2nd-hand crap friends told me - I don't want to assume anything, because THAT would be a douche bag move.
Also, he's not giving any support for his arguments - just saying "oil companies make 10c. on a gallon of gas" . . . help me out then, where does the other $2.90 go?
I might be a douche for not knowing, but I genuinely want to know - so show me. Prove it to me, and I'll buy it - you've been on here long enough to know I'm not going to fuck with this guy if he can back it up, I'll fall right into line w/ him.

(and if you don't know who any of those people are you should enlighten yourself.)

That's fine - but these numbers exist, right? So show me - again, I can't listen to your phone calls, I'm not there at your family events or social functions, and I have no idea who you are. I can't know these things - I live 1000 miles from an oil refinery.
Why shouldn't I ask for support on a blind Internet board? If I told you Roger Clemens can be statistically proven to be something less than the best pitcher of our generation, you'd want me to show those stats, right?
This is the same - it's something that is not intuitive, so show me, instead of telling me then fucking with me about it.
Put up for me, help me out.
