RE: Yikes!

Thanks for the link.

Looked through the first 3 or 4 pages and again I didn't see any disagreeable donations.

The posters above appear to have mostly personal issues with Gates and/or Buffet but these don't matter and since it is their money (however they got it must have been legal) they are free to give away as they like.
At least Buffet's clause means that if he gives them 1 billion this year and they do not hand out 1.05 billion over the following year they won't get any more. Good clause me thinks...

Personally I prefer the way Bosch AG and ZF (world's largest and 2nd largest automotive suppliers) operate: They are actually wholly owned by charitable trusts and so automatically give away their annual profits.
In the case of ZF the trust is administered by the City of Friedrichshafen. More companies should be run like that IMO.
