Mmmmmm... IPA.

I think that you are on the right track. The parabolic move of oil upward from $10 per barrell smacks of a bubble. "The greenies" are a straw man. They are fleas compared to the goliaths of big oil and other multinationals with a vested interest in oil being at alltime highs. When the bubble bursts (soon), analysts will compare this era to other parabolic bubbles of the past that were rationalized by (at least partly) specious theories like "peak oil" and exponential, unprecedented demand increases (India/China). The party is almost over with Bush and Cheney on their way out. Remember rolling blackouts, the spot price of electricity in Kah-lee-for-nee-yuh, and Gray Davis? Remember all of the thories about what was supposedly responsible? Remember how Enron then got caught? Well; not everyone who does what Enron did gets caught. In fact, most don't, imo, judging from my experience as a consultant to public companies in the energy/resource sectors. The real question is; what's the next bubble now that real estate and oil are just about over? Will it be nuclear (uranium)? Will it be alternative energy (esp solar)? How about water? How about all of the above and more... Wow! I am so happy to be back at RWG! I forgot how much I loved this place and all of the great personalities in the community. It's been almost two years since I've set digital foot in here (I frequented RWG1). The best gathering of people I've ever experienced online, without a doubt. Cheers all, FFF

Well, since no one else seems to have the sack, I am going to go out on a limb and say; "Hey guys! Look at me way out here on this limb!!!"

Dude! I am, like, totally down for one of these babies if the group-buy is a go. Make mine black and ss bracelet - unless blue becomes available...

I love my hobnail-dialed 027 2892 in ss even though it is not accurate. I plan on doing the cyclops, datewheel and crown soon. It will likely be the PAM I wear most often when it's done. It's sporty, elegant, solidly built and the power reserve is one of my favorite complications. Good luck in your decision...

Wow! They look great. Nice find...

Great advice.

I am a nut-job conspiracy theorist, too. I believe that many conspiracies or "self-serving, secretive collusive efforts" (for those that despise the term "conspiracy") exist in all walks of life, but I don't think that this is one of them. There are far too many more effective ways to sabotage than what has ocurred, imo. Now, if something happened to the hosts and/or the servers of RWG and its sister sites, and if this happened repeatedly and for long periods of time, and if the reasons why were more than elusive - then I would really get suspicious.

That's gorgeous 4th gen po and an excellent combo. I love Sirtoli straps.

I am in federal prison.

Excellent points. I think a lot of oversized pieces, including the 40mm pams with the right strap, would look sexy on women. Maybe it's a juxstaposition-type thing goin' on...

Well, then. Now that a coalition has been built, there can only be on more question: Who has the best J12??? Just kidding; they all look pretty much the same - at least the ceramic ones do.

What's "pwnz"? I am glad I was wrong about the silver pins. Makes my decision a lot easier...
