Oh, I see. No basis in fact.
So, basically, you simply pulled that statement out of your a$$, posted it, and called it debate, huh?
This is what we, at FR, call "trolling", MrLeRoy -- people who post just to get a reaction from someone.
Now, either support the basis of your statement, "the ratio could change because of relatively increased use in the lower 48" or I report it as abuse. I told you before, I'm tired of your silly games.
Simple arithmetic: if either term in a ratio changes, the ratio itself changes. Product of public schooling, are you?
