XTO decision does not end Beck Energy case.

The Monroe County Beacon Feb 21st article about XTO losing their challenge to enter the case as a concerned party is confusing.  Does this mean the appeal by Beck Energy on the original decision in the landowners favor has been decided?  Or, does it just mean that XTO lost their ability to use their corporate power and fancy lawyers to help Beck with the appeal?  The paper makes it sound like the landowners are now free from the "perpetual" leases, but I don't think the appeal is over yet.  Anyone know anything?

From what I can learn, no the appeal process is NOT over;  Beck Energy can appeal, but XTO is not a party to the case or appeal.   IMHO this voiding of the leases will only affect Beck lease holders and those landowners with similiar problems with other companies will have to pursue their own case.

If you think the Beacon's article it is somewhat confused try reading the one that appeared in the Wheeling Intelligencer.
