I agree that many didn't... but we sure did. I'm going to act all good and SotL, and say: tough luck for them 
Of course, there is no real way of knowing that we got as much as we would have otherwise... the spill affected the salmon run fairly badly... and how much is really deserved so far as recompensation goes is largely incalculable. It certainly was a boon to most affected persons to get paid now, however. I'm hardly disappointed with the amount... but if there is a way to cram Exxon for more: why the hell not?
And of course there is still oil from the Valdez spill... hopefully this new spill can be cleaned up somewhat more effectively

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
