Svejk,

The introductory post for this thread:

YEAR 2000: IMPACT ON THE STOCK MARKET & SOCIETY
This thread is NOT for promoting specific stocks. It is for reference and discussion of the Year 2000 Impact on the stock market and society.
For Year 2000 stock discussion, see this thread:

<Cheryl, in my imbecile stupidity I assumed that making a post about a specific stock, which seemed, to my humble self, to also be possibly reflective of the industry as a whole in its relationship to the Y2K problem, was not against the strictly enforced rules of this thread, as defined and enforced by the duly self-appointed thread monitor - namely your honorable self.>
If we allow people to start making posts regarding specific Y2K stocks here ... how many people, from other threads, will start making posts about Y2K companies they've invested in? They could all make the same argument as you ... that their post was "reflective of the industry as a whole in relationship to the Y2K problem".
As you're aware many people who are skeptical of the Year 2000 problem accuse those who invest in Y2K, as well as consultants and companies involved in the Y2K fix ... as HYPING to make money.
Those of us, you included, realize the problem is REAL. It's not hype. It's hard enough to get many to take this Year 2000 issue seriously. That's why I try to maintain the integrity of this thread by NOT discussing specific Y2K stocks.
