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.

'I'm probably the longest Berkshire forum/board poster (on this and previous AOL and others boards) who's 'still here''

Dealraker,

I certainly won't challenge this statement since my adventure with BRK only began in 1995 on the AOL board. It was just after I retired from XOM and finally had enough investment capital to buy A shares. Those were the days of dial up modems.

I recall a lot of folks who helped me get on the train - tode, pagewrite, neuroberk, robsny, ikoborso, DonaldD, Jbenvent, so many more to whom I owe a debt I'll never be able repay. Some are now gone and others have moved on to other activities. I believe tode occasionally checked the old Fool board, and I've told him and Jack about this one. I would see a few names on the old Fool board that I recalled, but they didn't tend to be active posters.

For reminiscing purposes, what names from the old AOL board do you now see active on this board - at least so far?

And others we might entice?
