so, let me get this straight now: it's OK when you "thump your y2k chest" at edwarda? so some chests are more favorite chests around here than others, c.k. houston? when do you get it that y2k is a global issue and not some personal, once in a milleniae campaign of yours to stay in the limelight? do both men and women irritate you or is it just people in general who don't share your DEGREE of gloomy outlook that get singled out for your harrassment? most of us don't give a rat's hiney if you would know a computer chip pre-bedded (in the bin) or on a board (unless you can indentify the one in our individual coffeemaker models!!!) nor do we care how many attorneys you've lunched with in Winnemuca. its only 130 some days in the future we wish to discuss, not some ancient history of your software experience that bought you $14,000 was it? of red-eye flights, plastic food, cheap wine and a seat at the head table for 15 minutes of fame at bored attorney luncheons. you DO remember those luncheons don't you, where you droned on about something that because the government couldn't figure out how to tax, pretty much outlawed before the lawsuits really kicked in? guess you must have had a conflicting engagement when Morgan Stanley/Dean Witter M&A department called to have you speak at their annual banquet and save them from actions that would have spared them from their recent foisting of y2k non-compliant companies onto acquisitors without full disclosure?? thank you so much for the entertainment value of this thread at least. we used to learn things on here before you started kicking Ken around. oh, and while i'm asking the easy questions: howcome O.H. and a whole host of others can laugh good and hard at ron on this and other threads and yet, when ken does it, you get him kicked off? wouldn't you rather have ken around under a name you KNOW he uses than have him suddenly change spots with the flip of a new credit card and some alias, making your life miserable because he has more money alert the people with solid URLs than you do with your stale war stories we've all heard more times than we can count? i'm willing to wager more than a gallon of purified water, ken can out alias you, out the ears as long as he choses to pay and play. y2k is all about equal opportunity for being unmercifully disabled by events beYOND our control, and yet you want to play little lady fauntleroy on si? the us population and si threaders in particular don't care if you've personally met over half of the people in the united states. you haven't impacted this y2k mess nor repaired it to any appreciable degree and of us can discern. so why all the histrionics? i've been meaning to ask you, but maybe i should ask flatsville since she was so recently a guest in your fine new digs, how high have you hiked the prices on those generators you stashed so that you can gouge people (you know, those nice townies you call your "neighbors") from your new y2k hideout? don't you just love capitalism pre-y2k? now, run along. don't you have some strawberries that need washing for one of your famous strawberry rhubarb pies for the local shelter or something? LONG LIVE EDWARDA and anyone else who happens to disagree with you on any given day (that is left in 1999 anyhow) before most of us turn into y2k crispy critters! then who (/what) will you yell at? maybe you'd like some urls on how to talk to your plants pre and post y2k???? yelling at roses coupled with hostility when you are gardening stunts their growth. and if it stunts flowers, think about how hard it will be to grow decent, life-saving vegetables AFTER y2k when you are all twisted and warped with regret and hostility? and plant stuff is scientifically proveable since oh, about 35+ years ago. even ron and ken could agree on that evidence :) now, can we get back to reading what edwarda has to say without further bashing from you, or is she your next target for elimination from SI?

Calling you names? When? Where? Are you referring to the term doomer? Was I the creator of that title? That is not calling you a name. - - - Cheryl, would you tell us what precautions you have taken regarding Y2K? Did you pull up roots and move JUST because of Y2K? Do you have a generator because of Y2K? Do you have large amounts of fuel in storage because of Y2K? Do you have a 3-6 month food supply only because of Y2K? Do you have armed yourself because of Y2K? Have you left the market because of Y2K? Have you pulled you money out of the bank because of Y2K? What other steps have you taken because of Y2K?
