Bass,
I was not saying that Gould's theory was bull****, nor do I believe that
Gould necessarily supported the theory. I read Gould's post as a way to
promote an off the cuff discussion (which in my neighborhood was called a
shooting the bull, or bull****).

The only info I have is the same as most of the readers in the NG, the power
experts believe that the problem was not the result of terrorist, but was a
combination of natural factors that overwhelmed the system.

Now, if I said that the power failure was the result of Flying Saucers
stealing our power, do you have any proof that my statement is bull****?

Noah,
This is a perfect example of the kind of info you can expect to read in
any
NG, Gould, one of the more knowledgeable boaters in the NG, throws out a
theory that maybe the NE Blackout is the result of a terrorist attack.
Is
this accurate, as of now it does not appear to be, but it is a great way
to
start a bull**** discussion that will soon evolve into a political
discussion.

It was just a THEORY that Gould threw out there, along with facts that
could possibly point in that direction. Do you have any information to
the contrary, to back up YOUR statement that it is "bull****"?
