SO, IN THE INTEREST OF PEACE ON THIS THREAD,AND TO KEEP IT CLEAN OF ANY CONTINUATION OF THIS, I WILL BE THE GOOD GUY AND THE ONE TO BE A GOOD SPORT AND OFFER RON AN OLIVE BRANCH. THAT'S MIGHTY "big" OF YOU.... Kinda like Saddam Hussein telling Kuwait that he'll be the "good guy" and stop occupying their country. But if that's what it takes to get you to clean up your act, I'll accept it. I personally don't believe Y2K is a zero sum game, and I'm not interesting in "winning or losing" any argument with you. I've got better things to do. SHOULD HE NOT GRACIOUSLY ACCEPT IT AND ALLOW ALL THIS TO STAY OFF THIS THREAD, THEN THAT WILL BE FURTHER CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF HIS INTENT TO REVENGEFULLY CARRY HIS GRUDGE ONWARD, AND TO THE DETRIMENT OF A POSITIVE ON-TOPIC INFORMATIVE THREAD! Hmmm... but lest ye forget as seems apparent above.... I might remind you that NO ONE has the ability to put you in SI prison except SI Admin(bob). And unless you are blatantly accusing Bob of being a "hack" or patsty for those you apparently believe are deliberately "targeting" you for censorship, I suggest you reconsider your logic. By claiming that we are plotting to have SI Bob remove you, you are ASSERTING THAT SI Admin(bob)IS CORRUPT. Only he has that decision making capability. He looks at what you are saying and should he deem you to be out of line, he'll shut you out. Again, I suggest that you rethink your belief system with regard to why you were suspended (twice). The 1st step always begins with overcoming self-denial and acception responsibility for your actions. I will be forwarding this post, as well as the one you wrote to SI Bob for his review.

Dear Ken, I don't know about any of the people you mention in this posting except Cheeky Kid, but I can assure you that there has never even been a hint of backstabbing in PMs between us. He is concerned--and rightly so--about widespread panic (unfortunately, not the musicians, who are worth a listen) and has expressed concern about it. He knows my profession--WHICH I DO NOT DIVULGE HERE FOR PROFESSIONAL REASONS AND HAVE ALREADY DIVULGED TOO MUCH--and shares my understanding that most of the U.S. and Europe will be ready, that Asia, parts of South America, and Africa are going to represent a supply-chain problem. (BTW, see my earlier posting on this very subject.) Our PMs, just for the record and contrary to what Cheryl suggested earlier, have dealt with which industries are at what stage in what part of the world. Never has there been a hint of backstabbing or even criticism on CK's part except to express concern about what the effects of bad information and what the effects of frustrated Y2K hysteria might be if the world as we know it does NOT grind to a halt. Just to keep the world here clear, Cheeky Kid is not a part of the clique to which you refer. He is an honest and decent poster, posting his thoughts based on what his own professional experiences have informed him and based on input from people like me who have first-hand knowledge.
