The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

As a rule of thumb, when Dealraker makes a post that doesn't include any reference to Jim, the post is high quality and helpful. But the ratio is probably 1 of those posts for every 2 where he just can't help but make an attack. I'm also befuddled by the lack of self awareness.

The amount of mindspace he gives Jim is amazing. For someone who doesn't want Jim to be defining his experience participating on this board, he finds a way to reintroduce some reference to Jim on his own at the very point when it seems like he might be ready to move on.

I also personally find it annoying that he refers to the "board" as if its one entity. We are a diverse collection of people, who are fully capable of deciding on their own who they want to listen to, what we find valuable, and what moves we decide to follow or not.

Can we move on to talking about substantive topics?
