I wasn't trying to paint you as an hypocrite, I have my own "ideals" and I am painfully aware that I have also constantly to make pragmatic choices about these (specifically: I am an ethical vegetarian) - it was just that the original message sounded too much like a rant: especially invoking a pogrom against fuel manufacturers didn't seem to offer any real improvement to the situation of, well, anybody.
