I agree Larry T,
I just hope there is something left to weather through to.

Are those questions in your last paragraph rhetorical, or do you really want/expect answers? My guess, answers may not be forthcoming, too much indiscriminate cannon fire previously. Just guessing, though, because I'm in no way even remotely attached to the industry. Best - sesport :0)

Hey Sesport,
Not rhetorical, in a sense. Just wanting to give anyone the opportunity to take a poke at the hand that CHPK & TC 's has dealt to the people that are still trying to get leases signed. Not everyone on here works for Uncle Mac, I hope.Yet they could be affected, in a negative way, by the additional mistrust that this action will generate. The landmen/women working outside of the realm of CHPK will still have to pay for the "sins of the father".

Wanting good consideration and fair, ecologically safer drilling practices shouldnt be enough to make this line appear, drawn in the sand, so to speak.

While the discussion so far has been interesting, you are correct in that it hasnt touched on the initial questions and that those answers may not be forthcoming. Maybe they are just hopeing that it will go away.

Tough questions, that could be viewed as asked in a deprecating way, are not the intended result of this post. At this point in time, it would be beneficial to none. Just trying to understand more about the character, of the portion of industry that I will be sitting across the table from.

Besides, we only learn when we see, feel or hear something that hasnt been brought to our understanding previously. It may not always be pleasant but its the only route that I know of.
Have a good one.

Ah, the unpleasant learning ... been there, done that ... but it too is a blessing in it's own way.

And just because "they" have decided to go "picking" doesn't mean that we can't tighten our groups, break out into subgroups, to continue to help each other. Time to start reorganizing by thinking outside the box. Isn't that what teamwork is all about?

So, yes, let the learning begin ... again, like it did last summer, with fresh eyes, curious minds, maybe with well-honed negotiating skills. Because, after all, we are, will continue, to learn immensely.

sesport, no double entendres, no harm intended ... ever

KB - I'm sorry but this is another one where we'll have to agree to disagree ... IMO by thightening up the subgroups, the larger group retains it's power. I'm in one of the ginormous groups that hasn't been doing a good job of communicating ... I intend to contact every neighbor I know and tell them to beware. And I'll be employing the services of the retirees to be on the look-out and keep up the phone chatter. And if they have friends in the adjoining neighborhoods, to put out the call. The larger groups will have to form subgroups, not subgroups break out from the larger, to remain more intimate, cohesive & informed, IMHO.

KB - I want CPK & TC out of our sandbox as much as anyone. The chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. If the mega groups don't encourage & support the smaller groups with more info,, indeed insist that the information be passed on, pass on more information on their own websites, then the neighbors that don't have access to places like GHS will be ripe for the picking. But the information has got to be passed between intimate familiars ... who picks up the phone to call strangers?

Best always - sesport

lol ... funny thing about strangers, reminds me of a song somewhere around here sung by the Chipmunks ... at some point intentions will be called into question. That's when the links are most vulnerable. :0)
