Flatsville: As for my comment on keeping the situation quiet...Do you honestly think government and other large institutions are going to run screaming to the public and press that they have serious remediaiton problems?...How naieve!!! In the Israeli case, it was obviously the other way around, the public went screaming to the government. That's what caused the tax agency to start using a manual work-around. Kind of makes your conspiracy theory seem a little silly doesn't it? How did "they" manage to "keep a lid on" a situation that was apparently common knowledge in Israel? I think Y2K is a real problem that deserves real scrutiny (though I'm probably not as pessimistic as most of the people reading this). Focusing on the survivalist and conspiracy-theory aspects of the problem distracts from the real issues and does nothing to enhance the credibility of the alarmists.
