So WTF am I a blip on the radar? ??? I don't have anything in the way of credibility either. lol.

You are a data point, marching through time with a slowly evolving perspective. This perspective, your behaviors, emphasis and arguments changing along with the web locations where you have spent your time. Even your style has changed, from the peakoil.com days through reddit and your various website adventures. The SUN days. Some of those changes can probably be credited to your physical changes over time, which aren't a surprise. Hell, some of my changes are directly related to aging as well, like what I would do with the grandparents place. I used to think "hey...if doom happens regardless of why, a natural gas powered house on 100 acres of bottomland and woodlands with its own gas wells isn't a bad place to be". More of a mental exercise, I don't have any desire to return to my roots as it were. My wife and children would revolt, for starters. "Venison?!?!?!? Three nights this week.....screw that...where is the nearest McDonalds!". "Sorry honey, they all ran out of ice and then later were overrun by the MZBs and shut down."
