I don't think there is any intention of downramping in any of these posts mmartin. Some very handy advice has been written in some of the posts as what to do in the event that they don't find gas first up. I think you will find that most of the people that have posted today want MOG to be involved with a huge 12tcf of gas find in coming weeks.
Of course there are often people that do just what you are saying but in this case I think it is a bit of get prepared for the worst just in case it doesn't go the way we want it to. It is still a 50:50 bet in my opinion although last weeks announcements have steadied the nerves a bit. Good luck, notthemama
