Life’s too short to waste time flogging dead horses. I might be tempted back into one of Pre’s threads in the future, but they do seem just to go round in circles. Perhaps SAGG is not the place for geology.
Amen.
Actually geology would be a perfectly acceptable subject for discussion. It is just that you can't get a sensible answer from Pre about anything you question in his posts.
As an example: What is the relationship between fracking* and earthquakes? There seems to be a significant increase in minor earthquakes in areas where there is a lot of fracking going on. If you ask a half a dozen different experts you will get a half a dozen different answers. It seems that most of the answers that say there is no problem come from people who have an interest in using fracking. That includes our state leaders here in Oklahoma. Many of the other answers are from people who just think it must be bad because we never did that way before. And there does seem to be an increase in the number of earthquakes.
*Definition: Fracking - the use of high pressure water to fracture deeply buried rock formations to allow the easy extraction of natural gas.
