Odd huh? We all saw TOD form too. Remember? I was member 900 or some such here.

Almost five here as well, and my first post ever was a reply to a post by Cyrus.

Coincidence? Well, yeah, probably.

Heh, back then members who yacked up a storm received as classification "I Post too much!" Beats "Intermediate Sweet Crude." Pops had joined April 3 and on June 6 added his 1194th post...yikes.

So, did the "giant oil sea" off the Falklands ever pan out? (were they talking about the big finds off Brazil maybe?)

Googleplex-weird. And i remember when the site looked like that LOL.

Wow, that wayback machine is really something.. you can actually browse the forum the way it was in '04.

For example, here's a post from April '04:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n his letter Warren Buffet has called the derivative market a financial weapon of mass destruction which is about to blow. He especially mentioned Fannie and Freddie which are the biggest players in that field.

Only a few months ago Greenspan warned that the sheer size of Fannie and Freddie posed great danger to the financial stability of the US. He also reiterated that the government would not bail them out in case of problems.

Those problems appear to have arrived today. An investigation has been opened on Fannie Mae.

Daniel,

January of '74. That's when it dawned on me oil was finite and that society would fall apart when supply crested.

But then we had the free wheeling 80's and 90's and it seemed like The Good Stuff would never run out so I only occasionally thought about this. At a dollar a gallon it was easy to forget about what was coming.

Then by '03 it became obvious that the peak was soon to be upon us. And it was. Now all that we're waiting for is 'the falling apart, part.'

late 70's/early 80's... i was more of a bear cub...now i'm a man child.
