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.

We are all just people posting on a board. I don't think anyone on this board as an "expert" and I certainly don't hero worship. Everyone should choose to listen to or ignore people you don't find helpful. This is not Saul's board where there is a specific person that people are here to follow.

I value the ones who provide their view and their logic because they help me think regardless of whether I agree with them. I ignore the ones who add nothing of value to my thinking and instead contribute noise. I fully own the fact that is my opinion and others might not agree with who I put into each category. If I designate someone as an "expert" in my mind, that is on me, not on the board. That is what makes this a discussion board and not a blog put out by one person that people post replies to.

This post has good thinking and content, whether I agree with you or not. I appreciate seeing the content but everything in it, in my opinions, could have been conveyed, without the need to set up a strawman "expert" to rail against.
