Oh, my! Seems I've gotten myself a reputation as an apologist for Washington. I would hate to see that little misunderstanding compromise my staunch libertarian (small "l") credentials. Most of what I've had to say that is supportive of the Feds in this Y2K matter is aimed at those on the thread who have been frustrated by unrealistic expectations of their government entities. Government entities have particular roles, responsibilities, authorizations, budgets, staffing patterns, etc. and they stay true to form. Dogs bark and ducks quack. Nothing inherent to the advent of Y2K is going to make them vocalize otherwise. If the people want pigs to whinny, then they have to get the laws changed. Being angry at ducks who quack or distrustful of pigs who oink is not particularly useful. Regarding the doin's in Seattle, sorry, I have nothing to contribute at this time. I've been preoccupied with a personal matter since the rioting started and haven't been following the matter. All I heard is that Ron Insana on CNBC got in the way of some pepper spray or tear gas or something equally nasty. Hope your broker is upwind in addition to upstairs. Karen
