True what you’re saying but Msnlobbi has ALREADY CREATED other boards that will address various interests and other OT discussions, so why not go there if diverse subject matter is of interest? What I am more concerned about is a tendency for a few on here to take the BRK board so far off the subject of Berkshire that it can drown out discussion about the stock itself. Then, the OT discussion begins to feed on itself. Once it get’s going, it takes on a momentum all of its own and can therefore dominate. Sometimes, if I ignore, I may have to ignore a page or two of threads to find BRK. I will admit that since I began this original thread, virtually everyone has done an excellent job in restraining those impulses and have stayed OT (on topic). Good job and thank you!
