We have run out of time to fix y2k!! We have less than 11 months to go and NOT ONE complient utility or bank. Accept reality here people! We are going down *very* hard as a country and civilization. The media spin is in full force a la Senator Bennets hearings with the Sec. of Agriculture,"No need to selfishly hoard food" "Farmers not affected by Y2k". What about supply chain to support them or transport food? Read between the lines here. The last witness in the Senate hearings essentially told americans to start stockpiling.What about when the seed companies and farms go out of bussiness? What about when there is no more shipment of food due to lack of oil? CAN YOU SAY FAMINE? MASSIVE FAMINE!! Think it can't happen? Ever see pictures of those people in Africa? It will happen here!! WE HAVE NO HOPE- IT IS EVERYONE FOR THEMSELVES FROM HERE ON OUT!! Koresken has hired a PR firm. Cory Haminsky makes paul milne look moderate by comparison-he is planning to be self sufficient on his dragon ranch. Clinton is just waiting to sieze power. Every day looks worse-READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND USE YOUR HEADS HERE PEOPLE!!! There is no way that this is going to be less than an 9 or 10 now. Six months ago there was cause for optimism. The code has no hope of being fixed now. Programmers are quitting in order to make their preps. Who will be left to fix code here in U.S? The rest of the world is still in the awareness phase(No more imported oil for a long long time). We are headed for a new dark age which will make Road Warrior and the middleage plauge of the black death look like a preschool picnic by comparison. Western Civilization is in the twilight of a thousand year reign. I predict BILLIONS DEAD that's right BILLIONS DEAD due to supply chain and dominio-type failures. The only people who will survive are those who have prepared and have enough firepower to keep it. Oh, it can't happen, right! Remember the black death which claimed 1/3rd of humanity? What about the millions in WWII? Every generation gets their chance to be in history. This is ours. A new era of chaos and death will sweep the planet! LOCK AND LOAD!!!!!!!!

Billions dead? Great! I guess that means we don't have to worry about shortage. Plenty of food, fuel, looted booze, etc. Smart thinking! No wonder Juries want to take my firearms away from me. With people like Death Dealer armed, I am even thinking of quiting the NRA and joine HCI. ( just kidding - but almost) Good Job Death Dealer, make ALL gune owners look like as-holes. Hook

We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, but then they got in through the water-holes and we had to move out!

Good grief, it's the week end and all the little brats are left to play with the computer without parental supervision.

-- watchdog (anti@troll.com), February 13, 1999.

GOOD JOB!!

You've gotten onto four separate Y2K forums and posted the same crap on all four! Are you trying for a world's record or are you just playing with the "CC" function of your emailer?

Or, are you just so petty that your reaction to the seriousness of Y2K is to go and attempt to disrupt the genuine discussions of the problem, the way a three year old scatters the Monopoly board because he can't comprehend the game his older siblings are playing?

This has got to be either a drunk or a troll.

Chittum?

-- Anonymous99 (Anonymous99@Anonymous.com), February 14, 1999.

A drunken troll? A trolling drunk? A droll trunk? Sorry, I'll stop now.

I thought we yourdonfors all pretty much agreed with this guy, more or less. Caps lock seems appropriate, given the subject matter.

-- humptydumpty (no.6@thevillage.com), February 14, 1999.

The ironic thing is all of the points he made are used by GI's (with the exception of Billions Dead). I guess it makes it seem more realistic if you don't use all of your ammunition at the same time.

Yawn. Come on down to Ky and try it bub.

-- Paul Davis (davisp1953@yahoo.com), February 14, 1999.

Oh. Okay.

But the polls say that won't happen, so who we gonna listen to? You, or the rest of the American people, knowledgebly and abley led by their esteemed leader, educated by his national media?

-- Robert A. Cook, P.E. (Kennesaw, GA) (cook.r@csaatl.com), February 15, 1999.

Y2K is a HOAX YOU FOOLS!! You've ALL been taken in by the GREATEST MARKETTING SCHEME OF ALL TIMES!!!!!!! Everybody stands to make BIG BUCKS on this hoax, computer consultants, the media, the government who will raise taxes, BOOK WRITERS like ED YOURDON and DEJAGER and economists like YARDENI, and software writers for "silver bullets" who's stocks are going off the roof right now, and Netscape and AOL who are getting more hits...EVERYBODY EXCEPT YOU FOOLS WHO ARE BUYING INTO it!!! PAUL DAVIS IS RIGHT!! The computer systems are not chips and only a tiny fractions are not compliant and EASILY FIXED!!!! And the big companies have almost all fixed their computers and they WILL ALL BE COMPLIANT BY JUNE 99!!! THIS IS A CHRISTIAN APOCALYPSE/ARMAGEDON HYSTERIA LIKE THEY DID IN THE YEAR 1000!!! And GARY NORTH is the leader of this hype so he can TAKE OVER WITH HIS RECONSTRUCTIONIST IDEOLOGY!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!! PLANES WILL NOT FALL OUT OF THE SKY AND YOUR MICROWAVE WILL NOT BLOW UP IN YOUR FACE!!!

That was my impression of a lunatic Polyanna.

Thank you *curtsey*

Good one Chris.

Pass the chips. (Salted please).

Chris,

Was that post really from you?

-- fly .:. (.@...), February 15, 1999.

Yes fly, it was me mon ami. I was impersonating a lunatic Polyanna, as a joke, to make a point ;-)

-- Chris (catsy@pond.com), February 15, 1999.

Dear "Mr. Chris,"

I thought that was your purpose but I wanted to make sure. People are catching on here. That's good because it gives everyone time to prepare this little village. If we have a nice little blizzard when the lights go out we'll be secure because the city dwellers will have frostbite long before they get here.
