<Doomsayer pushes year 2000 panic button by using out-of-date data - NEW YORK TIMES> pioneerplanet.com LOL - Cheeky I already posted that article today. You must not read my posts. <ggg> See: techstocks.com NY TIMES has the IDENTICAL article published twice on their web site ... but, with two DIFFERENT headlines - which I found kind of strange.: Former Navy Officer Delivers 'Pentagon Papers of Y2K' search.nytimes.com Doomsayer Pushes Year 2000 Panic Button With Old Data search.nytimes.com Identical copy. Just different headlines. Here's 2 excerpts. The newest version of the document, not yet posted on the Navy site ... Actually it had been put on the Navy site the day before this article was published. I read and downloaded it. Here it is: nfesc.navy.mil It turned out that Lord had indeed received Government information, but that it was outdated ... The document, posted until recently on a public but rarely visited Navy Internet site, reflected assessments made this spring The report that Jim Lord published was dated June 1999. It was updated July 1, and then pulled from the Navy web site in early August. Here's why ... HOW DID KOSKINEN HEAR ABOUT THE NAVY DOCUMENT? I told him. By Lewis (aslanshow@yahoo.com) greenspun.com Interesting reading. Koskinen had been unaware that the Navy had put this report together, and that the general public had access to it. On August 5, Lewis wrote to Koskinen, Bennett and Dodd to make them aware of the reports existence. In a matter of days, the report was pulled off the Naval site. IMHO - The truth is somewhere in the middle. If you look at the newest report that the Navy put back on-line, you'll note that there are many "unknowns" and still quite a few "2's". And very few "completes". nfesc.navy.mil Cheryl
