except to express concern about...what the effects of frustrated Y2K hysteria might be if the world as we know it does NOT grind to a halt.

Edwarda, would you please elaborate on this. I am among those who consider the hysteria surrounding Y2K a much greater risk than the "bug" itself. I had assumed that the risk from mass panic would end on January 1 when people wake up and discover that the TV is still working and the world has not come to an end. While those who are highly engaged in this would continue to press about pipeline problems into the new year, the average citizen would give a big sigh of relief on January 1 and the risk of mass panic would be over. What do you see as the additional risk of "frustrated Y2K hysteria?
