LOL! I read (almost) every word.

Of course, if I was a powerboater burning $60.00 an hour, I might see
the relavance. Banning recreational powerboating is the kind of idea
bound to crop up in any discussion of the kind of conservation that
would get prices back to where we pay no more attention to the cost of
the fuel than the cost of the air that burns it.

(I'm not advocating such a ban so, save your flames.)
