I think snarkiness is particularly bad in discussions with people. But my comment isn't directed at a person. It's an invitation for us as a society to think about the long term consequences of stock buybacks. Please see the follow on discussion's about this topic. I think this is better comment thread quality than we'd get out of a plane (:D) dry comment about the numbers (which I incidentally also have below). Also, I believe this comment is critical of stock buybacks, but it is not explicit about that. I leave that as an exercise to the reader. That said, I will consider in the future less snarkiness in my comments.
