Barbara, if you are truly as reserved and thoughtful as you portray yourself to be, then why waste your time asking such questions when you can simply click on the research URL listed in the header and discover the facts for yourself? That, indeed, would be the rational thing to do, particularly if you genuinely value rationality. ggg.
There are numerous people here who could walk you step by step through the entire gamut of issues re Y2K, except that 90 percent of the work has already been done for you and me. Accordingly, if you are sincere in posing such inquiries, I would highly recommend that you peruse the research that is readily available to you.
Finally, it ludicrous to suggest that a company, or any other endeavor, is of questionable merit solely because one individual is indirectly associated with it. That is simply illogical, as I suspect you know, and frankly, it is one of the more irrational statements that I have encountered on this or any other thread. If that were the case, then Silicon Investor is equally questionable (granted, some may AGREE with that statement gggg).
I am a strong believer that one can't have it both ways, i.e., claim to genuinely value rational conduct, while engaging in conduct that belies such a proclamation. The word hypocrisy comes to mind.
Finally, from my experience with bullet [sic] boards first, and then the Internet, I have discovered that reputations in public fora such as this are often justified. Moreover, they become magnified by the company you keep, my point being that the shrill reaction your presence has generated from some may well be justified. I, for one, look forward to your proving otherwise.
