Kirk, ultimately don’t just jump on any offer until you know fully what is going on, either selling mineral rights, leasing or what have you. I’m sure Tim will guide you right with his cynicism, just make sure you’re edu-MACATED or he will talk down to you. You are lucky Tim that you have a venue like the internet to shoot your mouth off at people. I’m sure you don’t talk to people in person the way you type here in the forum, lucky for you. I’m glad you have 35 years of knowledge about Oil… if it wasn’t for people like you, who would I have hired to get me these big ol’ checks? Now get back to work!

I understood your first response quite well, you replied with certainty to the person’s question in the forum without the knowledge to make an educated response. Is that SIMPLE enough for you to understand? I am also sad to inform you in this day of modern technology that they still drill dry holes all the time. I was also using the dollar amount of 40K generically as you were in your first response and yes I know some people get royalties of 40K and more a month. You certainly did not understand the situation with the gentleman I made reference to, it had nothing to do with greed, that was something you read into it that was incorrect, you must have gotten lost somewhere making your elaborate interpretation of what was simply written. Also, there is no black list either.
By the way, I understand the oil field quite well having been in most aspects of it for 35 years from pipelines to roustabout, casing, drilling, completion and production to buying, selling and leasing minerals all over the USA.
