Ron--

In general I agree with two of your statements:

>>>What people "do" for a living is irrelevant to this discussion.<<<

and

>>>There are some very savvy people who understand the implications of Y2K, yet have never written a line of code.<<<

But, to base criticism or make claims based on broad international first hand experience or a history of experience and then decline to state in what capacity that experience took place (occupation) it then does become relevant. We have heresay v. "facts" (such as they are.)

No, sorry. I agree with a third statement:

>>>Yes, It's great when the programmers and systems engineers participate, especially David Eddy (who's presence I greatly miss)...<<<

for once, we agree...what one currently 'does' for a living, or did for a living, or where they used to live, or if they are even still living is totally immaterial to the impact of y2k on all our lives.

first we bet a gallon of purified water,
now we agree on this.
what next? world peace?
just sign me, one of those savvy people who've never written a line of code.
