How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

Hi Guys and Gals
What's going on?
There are curently three threads about the Morgan Stanley Oil Crash - 2 at Current events and 1 at peak oil discussion.
I realised, afterwards, that when I posted one that there was already another and expected mine to disappear. But it didna
Monte was doing a great job keeping tabs on this sort of thing but discipline seems to have waned.
why?
PO.com os the world's leader on the subject and the forums are very, very busy I know - the busiest PO forums in the world so it needs the best PO forum moderators in the world!!
It was wrong to fire Montequest.
Bring him back.
Anyone else agree?

well, you succeeded in waking me up when you said Monte had been fired.
and thanks Aaron for putting that straight.
i'm a mod and have also been too busy over the last six weeks to contribute much. but i hope to be back properly in a few weeks time.
as for your apparent dissatisfaction with the speed of service from the mods, as you rightly point out it was you that screwed up by posting a thread on a topic that already existed. if you are so worried about it, why not PM a mod or 2 and ask politely that they sort it out. we are happy to clean up after other people if it will keep the whole thing running more smoothly (i.e. improve the quality of the forums).
we've got the buttons and we (sort of) know how to use them.

btw, the "merge" button is relatively new, we only got it a few weeks ago.
before that it was quite laborious to get rid of double-ups, but now it is a breeze.

Fired? Sorry, I'm still here abusing my privileges and threatening to ban people who disagree with me.
As Aaron stated, I am busy with a big work project and don't have the time I used to have to devote to the forums. Plus, the site has grown considerably with many more postings.
Everyone feel free to pm me with any issues you see go wanting.
