First Simmons, then LATOC, then Roscoe, then Al, then TOD. Peak oil appears to be disproportionately hard on peakoilists themselves versus the other things like traffic jams, transoceanic shipping and F1 racing and stuff.

I wasn't being a dick, just making an observation. As it turns out, the coming of the peak oil apocalypse isn't as near term as the attention and lifespan of those people and websites standing around waiting for it.
