Again i wish to thank you for your unsolicited advice. Since you seem to be aquainted with AA message boards perhaps you could point me in the directions of the one you use. Oh BTW I'm still working on my posts albeit a lot slower than some. But of course if you have some suggestions regarding anything you could do to help me contain my urge to post i'm willing to listen.

Why gasoline boycotts don't work:

http://money.cnn.com/2007/05/14/news...ex.htm?cnn=yes

I don't think most people pay attention to the 'boycott' comments. Any boycott, if it did have an adverse effect on gasoline sales in general, would simply lead to a latter increase to make the consumer pay the difference. You can't win that battle. Only way to win would be government regulation of price.

No interest whatsoever ever in your posts, it’s just easy to see your replies when you comment on almost every post. And no I’m not the sensitive type, I’m just laughing that you didn’t miss an opportunity to disagree with someone on here, even though our thoughts on the topic were almost the same.

p.s. “Your” in the context you are using it should be you’re or you are.

Have a good one man.

There is supposed to be a laywer sueing the oil companies for purposely limiting production to force prices up. Good old supply and demand.

Haha. Oh well. At least I misspelled a word rather then using the wrong word in it’s place. Good looking out though

Still active? Where are you stationed at?
