Hey,

Hope I didn't come across harshly, I knew you were poking fun. I simply wanted it to be clear since I have read nowhere that Merriwether has struck twice now, and Buffett has been involved both times.

Buffett shows up at strange times. He managed the investments of Grinnell College of Iowa in 1968. With Buffett's approval, Grinnell provided about 20% of the venture capital to Robert Noyce when he founded INTC.

At least he made 1 "good" technology investment. Perhaps he thinks he will tarnish his record.
