In regards to "Sire's Desires" to post success stories -- my goodness I hope that there will be some success stories! But citing success stories is of no value, and possibly detrimental.

The best analogy is that of a disease or epidemic. We're afraid that a disease (Y2K) is going to sicken (disrupt) a significant segment of the population. Citing individuals who are not sick does not lessen the threat of the epidemic nor make it go away...
