But to headoff or offset any potential later counter-argument from Cornucopians, I would suggest you might want to leave yourself some 'wiggle room' by stating [in your next article] that we won't exceed the July, '08 *monthly record* on any *sustained multi-month basis* going forward. I will leave it up to you to decide the required duration period to securely seal off any potential detractors to this great article. I would expect some to posit that the later combo of 'rested fields' suddenly going back to full-on pumping plus pulling from the global inventory buildup could create supply and consumption conditions to exceed the July, '08 record, but they won't dare mention for how long; they will overlook this inconvenient truth. As stated before: I always look forward to your next article. Great article, Dave–Well done. I agree that we are on the postPeak Plateau and now headed down.
