>>>I really think that people are convinced that there will be no major problems.<<< I agree that most people are either oblivious or convinced that there will be no major problems, at least for them; however, I can't imagine anyone who has put even a little bit of energy into following this issue will not have so much as a twinge of anxiety that something gruesome will happen somewhere in the world. If not anxiety, then at least rubbernecking curiosity. I'll bet that everyone who has been hanging around this thread, regardless of how polly, will check the news accounts on New Years Eve to see how things are doing in New Zealand. I know I will. It's human nature. At a minimum this is like reading a whodunit--there's anticipation about how it will end. >>>Don't you think that the level of anxiety (and the amount of discussion) would increase as the date drew close?<<< I do think that the level of anxiety will increase as the date draws close, but don't forget how short people's attention span is. October is not close enough and there are holidays to be dealt with first. Unless something like a Y2K movie gets folks stirred up or the market gets ugly, I wouldn't expect to see any anxiety until a few days after Christmas. Karen
