Pure speculation on your part. You don't and can't know the reasons for the departures.

BTW, Lair sure did a hell of a lot in two weeks, didn't he? Wow, bet he could straighten-out Apple in three, and maybe Netscape in four!

i guess if i was buying a company, i would want the founders, the ones that had a clue about what they wanted to do, and how to get there, would stay on. this is a reach, but you don't buy FORD, and fire Mr. Ford, you don't buy PORSCHE and fire Mr. Porsche, you don't buy any company that seems to be doing well and fire the people that had the foresight to get them where they are.
Buffett said Monday at the shareholder's meeting, 'I am only interested in buying companies, or interest in companies, of good sound companies, with absolute growth potential, *IF* the CEO/Owner, people that got them where they are, are going to stay on board. I have no interest in a company where the CEO/Owner is ready to take the money and quit. this tells me his character. i want people that are motivated by the love of what they are doing, not the love of money'.
You may be a great guy, Party, but if i had to choose between your logic, and Buffett's, you lose. badly. sorry. And yes, we are comparing apples with oranges, fortune 500 versus BB's, but that doesn't mean the same standards do not apply, i see no reason why they shouldn't. But i still like you, can we still be friends ?????
