This thread is proof that all posts have value including the critical ones which often generate the most interesting discussion.

The initial post is by dealraker which to his credit is not nasty. The back-to-back posts by mungofitch and LongTermBRK are excellent and give the essence of the dollar store bull and bear cases. What more can a reader hope for in a thread!

The fact that this forum exists is nothing short of a miracle. The chances that someone would replicate Motley Fool were remote to non-existent. And yet, here we are! All of us have a collective responsibility to keep this good thing going for hopefully decades to come. All we have to do is maintain a civil tone.

The bulk of my net worth is in Berkshire and I sleep well at night. That would be not be possible without this board and it's prior version at the Fool. Although virtual and anonymous, it still feels like a family <-:)
