Humbly report, Ivan, some pleasant surprises such as you spoke of have come my way as well. An example. A while back, introducing the y2k subject with a prestigeous lawyer and a VP of an other-people's-money-company met with unpleasantness. However, since then, both of them have introduced me to associates in their respective companies, and I am now actively helping to research y2k information for them. Both of the individuals that were totaly sceptical regarding y2k just a few weeks ago, have changed their attitude - completely - and last nite, at a party, both of them showered me with y2k information of their own. There is humble hope! Svejk (GL-15 applies: digiserve.com )

Ivan - I was wondering if any of you on the thread have noticed clippings arriving from friends who have had to sit through your mind-numbling harrangues? The author of the classic "Manias, Panics & Crashes" is one of my "clipping services." He's sent me some very interesting pieces. "Hey, the stuff you were talking about actually appears to have some validity. See, it's in the paper." This public visibility is both good & bad. Unfortunately most folks seem to equate seeing a Y2K piece in the public papers as substantive activity... wrongo! - David
