I think your comments toward me are also uncalled for. What I would like is a forum that is not so bent on being critical. This Y2K was way overboard. If we do have problems in the future, the way to solve them is not to force people into a manic point of view. My opinion, on what she said to me, is more important than your opinion of what I stated. Perhaps I should have PM'd her; however she had many followers who jumped on their own bandwagon after she posted her opinions publicly. I think she needs to know that.

I can understand tcd's feeling testy lately. As you know, I stopped posting here when all I faced were challenges and sarcastic dismissal. JXM also posted good "hands-on" information and was also dismissed. I do not feel any sense of the "I told you so" glee. I am grateful that the information that I had proved correct about the turn of the year. I am sure that we shall see irritating problems continue to crop up throughout this year. I am equally sure that everything under the sun will be blamed on Y2K, rather than on poor markets, company-specific problems, normal software glitches, and what have you. Getting back to the point, I can easily understand tcd's feeling irritated on the basis of the reaction to my own postings and those of JXM. Postings from people in a position to know information and, therefore, had to stay behind their aliases were treated brutally. People with no more to draw on than a search engine who posted doom and gloom were greeted with cordiality by certain people on this thread.
