Ron:You advised all the world's viewers that 'Y2K IS TOTALLY MENTAL"! The operative word here is 'TOTALLY'! Totally means all-emcompassing, totally inclusive, no exceptions, NONE! Repeat, NO exceptions! This about handles your objection, in toto!

Its too late, Ron, to retract your statement, to alter it, or to attempt some sort of disclaimer, as you did in just repeating it, BUT LEAVING OUT THE OPERATIVE WORD 'TOTALLY' !!! Caught you there, Ron! Just as in the case of attempting to fix all the embedded systems in the grid and in water delivery systems, 'ITS TOO LATE'!

Of course,I am totally aware of the entire context of this statement, which you used as a banner statement! Using the ploy of 'the context, the context'!!!, is of course, an exit strategy, and a very textbook one, used by millions the world over when all else fails, so I won't respond to such an excuse for failure.

Then, we have to examine your intent for that statement, "Y2K IS TOTALLY MENTAL". An examination of all your postings evidences that you want to 'dummy' everyone to the real y2k dangers, to cause everyone to be so 'satisfied' and 'content' with all the herculean efforts underway for the last couple of years, that no one will adequately prepare!

Thus, your statement 'Y2K IS TOTALLY MENTAL', was designed by you to cause everyone to believe y2k, and any resultant catestrophic effects exists and will exist in their minds first and foremost.

Further evidence of your attempting 'dummying tactic' is your often-repeated commentary (shall we refer back to these?) that the far more potential danger is terrorist attacks/cyterterrorism, to divert everyone's attention to those areas.

Yes, you are correct-they are very real possibilities, but they would be far less likely by a huge magnitude in ordinary, non-y2k times.

The most reasonable explanation for your attempting to convince everyone that 'Y2K IS TOTALLY MENTAL' is your self-centered interests by which you believe you can convince enough people reading that to reduce the people shutting down the banks via withdrawels, emptying the food shelves before you get there, and otherwise clogging any and all product distribtuiion lines (you know enough about JIT to be very panicky now, of course!) before you get yours!

How very sad for you, Ron!!!!
