              Discussion of gas demand is unAmerican sedition!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed

Several posters have broken the one rule that causes journalists to
lose their jobs and politicians to lose their constituents. This
discussion of oil demand must stop, or the list may be shut down.
Please limit your gasoline price discussion to SUPPLY ONLY, as in "oil
prices are higher today on speculation that the Saudis will not pump an
extra one-and-a-half million barrels per day as hoped." Discussion of
the demand side of the energy market equation will quickly discovered
and dealt with. Dissemination of demand information is not patriotic,
not American, and will not be tolerated. References to American fuel
consumption, in any way, will not be tolerated. Discussion of other
countries' fuel demand is OK.
