No Jon, it doesn't help. I wouldn't even classify your post as sophistry because it makes absolutely no sense. I thought that all the Y2K nonsense revolved around how old computer systems used TWO digit date fields, and how bugs resulting from century date calculations will have all sorts of massive repercussions that will magically show up at the stroke of midnight, 12/31/99. I have always maintained that these "bugs" were actually minimal, and would disappear in the course of normal software/hardware upgrade cycles. The reason all the Y2K-specific stock frauds are crashing is because the nonsense they've been trying to peddle for the last few years is being discredited. I'm not surprised that all the technical pretense has been stripped away and now we are seeing the final denoument... Peter De Jager appearing on Pat Robertson's crypto-Christian propoganda channel.
