I feel there are many of us here today that were on the Yahoo board and like me are now using different monikers. Benkea was often quite prescient in his analysis. It was a big loss to all the day a Ferrari driver pulled into his path while his Porsche was at speed.

Another commenter from that era was Wabuffo who had great correlating insights into the interworking of money flows, interest rates, deficits and the like.

The gentleman who developed the Berkshire price simulator (I cannot remember the name of the simulator but can remember it ran in Java) did us all a great service. In utilizing the different settings (liquidation value, conservative value, optimistic value - sorry, cannot remember the exact names for the settings), it was amazing how well the numbers it generated tracked the value of Berkshire in the following years.

As has been noted, there have been some great minds on this, the current board, and predecessor boards who have shared their investing logic with us. It has been beneficial for all concerned.
