Subject: LUBRIZOL FAILURE TO WARN and NEGLIGENCE? re:TIDES RECENT FIRE SPRINKLER LEAK THAT FLOODED THE BELOW FOORS

Mr. Buffett and Mr. Mango:
Where and when does all your failure to warn and negligence come to an end regarding ABF-2 and PPS? Is not the recent fire sprinkler break at the Tides something that further acknowledges your having condoned ABF-2 that has brought financial impact to a very good fire sprinkler contractor on that project.
In fact, is that not true of many fire sprinkler contractors where Lubrizol has supported the use of ABF-2? An additional question is how much ABF-2 caused damage have Tyco’s Simplex Grinnell written off because of ABF-2? The good part of that situation is that it will not be long before one of the damaged contractors, other manufacturers, and owners will be subpoenaing that file.
In conclusion, good guys often come out on top when the fat lady finally sings. Do you hear warming up as Warren Buffett tap dances to work?
