Carol Guzy/THE WASHINGTON POST - Oil surrounds a surfacing Portuguese man-of-war in the waters near South Pass, La. The Deepwater Horizon spill has taken an emotional toll on many people, with some describing the damage in the Gulf of Mexico as a "sacred loss" of fragile environments and endangered species.

Quote:

The oil in a slick detected in the Gulf of Mexico last month matched oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill two years ago, the Coast Guard said Wednesday night, ending one mystery and creating another.

“The exact source of the oil is unclear at this time but could be residual oil associated with the wreckage or debris left on the seabed from the Deepwater Horizon incident,” the Coast Guard said.The Coast Guard added that “the sheen is not feasible to recover and does not pose a risk to the shoreline.” One government expert said the thin sheen, just microns thick, was 3 miles by 300 yards on Wednesday.

Some oil drilling experts said it was unlikely that BP’s Macondo well, which suffered a blowout on April 20, 2010, was leaking again given the extra precautions taken when it was finally sealed after spilling nearly 5 million barrels of crude into the gulf.

Maybe, maybe not ... but I guess you are right that he has not bathed in Gulf.

Look, if I make a post, it's not to my post high to grow, (it's all about raising the mail pile, there are better ways) it is optional to read, just as I choose to comment on, and if I then choose to add text, WITHOUT comments,it really depends on what is to be posting, it may be that I have had comments, but this will not add comments in the text,is not contrary to the policy of SubSim (FAQ ) ...... and it's not the first time I heard it, that one does not like my posts, and I do not put text in my post,I am fully aware of this since several years back.
