Maybe WSJ is remaining quiet while they load up on sector stocks, waiting for the flames of panic, which they will then fan. [but then, I have been accused of having a conspiratorial mentality. <gg>] Bill Gates - Isn't he that guy who said 640k is enough RAM for anybody?

David, <Just for your own education try calling the WSJ's editorial board & see what sort of response you get.> Did it. Got the SAME response as you did. SO ... I looked elsewhere ... with someone who has a MUCH broader circulation. Got THEM interested. *Scrw WSJ. Monday, I have to get final research to the bigger/broader publication. Who knows what will happen? At least I got a meeting and their attention. Also got a glossy business publication interested (lower circulation than WSJ, but better/higher demographic base) They were working on a story within 5 days of our meeting. Until me met, they were TOTALLY anti-Y2K. I like words like "re-assess" & "compelling". Too bad I couldn't get in more "back doors" on this trip. I use social contacts ... not the convential PR route. There will be other trips. If you haven't noticed ... I'm somewhat of a Y2K zealot! THIS IS SO FRUSRATING.** I wonder, if down the road ... with all the litigation that is anticipated ... if some of these publications with their "heads in the sand" ... who paint a rosier picture than what actually exists ... if THEY might be sued. Just a thought. "PROPOGANDA" has a new meaning to me. WHO benefits by their exclusion of facts on Y2K? Very complicated, philosophical argument here. Cheryl
