But I never thought of you as a tease. Until now.

Smurfdogg is correct, and I apologize to the board. I should have remained silent.

But, having not done so, I'll offer one more comment on the subject.

There seems to be by some that Warren is unique and without fault. He is unique in terms of his devotion to investing, an incredible memory for accumulating and recalling financial facts, and a willingness to share his insights. I think he might actually enjoy teaching sometimes more than investing. But investing remains his primary driver.

That doesn't mean he is unique in terms of investing in today's environment. He's been brilliant in terms of his long term record. But he's also had some very favorable tailwinds that may not apply to the current world of investing. And some very good mentoring from Munger and others.

That was my intended point. In today's world, others have learned from him - and maybe better adapted than he has. That isn't proven yet - that takes a long time. But don't dismiss that there may be other gifted investors.

Just trying to maintain some perspective.
