" No offense, but you do tend to make lots of typos. Wasn't sure if you meant "10/4" for "ok," or "11/4" for the date, or some slang such as "411" for "information." You could have gone with "qtr" and been clear while typing the same number of characters."

Good morning, no offense taken. If you went to public school in Brooklyn NY in the 50s and 60s, they didn't teach the boys how to type, how sexist was that? I still type with one finger and IF I'm on my cell phone without my glasses on the entire internet is at risk!

To be honest several of the responses to my dividend suggestion reminds me of my previous suggestions the past 25 years.

When I suggested that Buffett begin his very generous donation plans in early 2005 rather than wait until he passed the usual suspects in brkville jumped me, of course. Buffett's generosity may lead to medical discoveries that extend his life and ours. Not to mention what the Foundations have done globally.

When I pounded the table to authorize a buyback at, material discounts to IV in 2006 near BV, not one loyal brkbista vigorously supported me, not one. That's how I knew I was right.

To be serious, several of the responses to my current suggestion that the time is right to declares a 1 $ quarterly dividend now, couldn't be more pathetic, to be kind. Let's not waste the time to make the case, again.

BTW, I'm stipulating that my typing and secretarial skills are VERY poor, and English is my only language, that's why I surrounded myself with great people during my very short working career.

There must be dozens of people hear who have been reading my posts for 25 years right here in real time. Let's go, call me out, what crazy nonsensical suggestions have I made in the past 25 years that Buffett rejected, name them. They didn't teach us how to type in Brooklyn, BUT, the streets of New York made us tuff, we don't disappear regardless of the behavior of the brk cultistas aka, the usual suspects.

Let's go kids, lay it on me, unless I'm excommunicated like the Fools board did, I'm here for your daily enjoyment!!

To Da Moon brk! btw, I still remember my fractions, aren't you impressed?
