Message	"winter fuel composition". Oil companies used to use that excuse to justify their autumn price hikes. They eventually got to the point where they said "F-it, just raise the price". They don't even give a reason anymore. "The central belief of every moron is that he is the victim of a mysterious conspiracy against his common rights." - H. L. Mencken "I may not know much, but I know the difference between chicken shit and chicken salad." - Lyndon Johnson 36th U.S. President A CHANGING OF THE GUARD WITHOUT A GUARDING OF THE CHANGE IS MOVEMENT WITHOUT CIRCUMSPECTION, AND IN THE EXTREME, IT MIGHT EVEN BE RECKLESS. GUARDING THE CHANGE IS AS IMPORTANT AS CHANGING THE GUARD!
