Are the cities burning yet? Marcos, You said: <<<< There's a book in this, the whole story of the fear as a social phenomenon. Cheeky's got a point about copying to disk the juicier bits of the doomer sites, it would be a shame to lose them, some of this stuff is going to make great funny stories for the grandkids >>>> Don't know if you visited this forum last summer, but one of the most preposterous theories being advanced then is one that said cities will be burning right about now because of Y2K. See: Message 10781905 Message 10782501 Then this guy went off the deep end about how much water everyone should stockpile. Fortunately, he has not been heard from for several months now. Have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

Happy New Year, everyone! It's simply exhilarating to know that we've made the transition to the new millennium without any major problems, worldwide. Some would say it's miraculous, some would say "wait and see," but I hope that most of us will just give thanks that things have gone so well. Personally, as many of you know, I was very well prepared for loss of power, water, and so forth. But I've asked myself whether I would have done the same thing over again, and the answer is "yes." I'm simply a risk-averse person, and it gave me great peace of mind to be well-prepared. Truly, I'll be a happy camper as I send my canned goods to local food pantries. The stored tap water will gradually make its way into the washing machine, and so on. My only "regret" is that we didn't get to have an "SI party" at my house with kholt and Cheeky <g>. I hope that the new millennium brings peace and joy to one and all. }=>-------->>>>
