Subject: Re: Buffett skips midyear donation to Gates Foundation
Many of us have owned brk for 25 years or longer. Obviously, we love Buffett, BUT, this is a perfect example of why brkb is worth more now. Buffett has a very non-confrontational personality.

Buffett stayed with and supported Ginny at IBM way too long.

He supported Vicky at oxy, too long.

He supported 3g, and Khc too long.

The Pilot- Flying J guys played him and abused his trust.

5 years ago a few of us pounded the table for Buffett to severe his relationship from Bill when Melinda did. He didn't act.


I doubt Greg has this type of problem. He will act when it's appropriate to do so, in real time.
