...first off, I didn't see this topic as anything but a free plug for the auction at Barrett-Jackson, not a 'service' to the Oldgas community...
Umm...help me out here..I think that's exactly what this site is all about isn't it? The category heading for this thread is "petroleum news" right?? If Aumann, Matthews, Barrett-Jackson, or anyone else is having an auction, this site is about getting the word out and reminding people when it is. I really don't see the harm in any of that.
My post was not meant to infer the originator of this thread was being
personally attacked..but rather he's just trying to inform the members about an event that's upcoming and the thread deteriorates into an
opinion-fest regarding the merits of Barrett-Jackson auctions. I seriously doubt that was ever the intention of him originating this thread.
And..the originator of this thread is exactly correct when he says this is the reason many people don't post on here anymore.
