One thing's for sure, if Bill W. died & went to 2K heaven, you have certainly filled in well for stirring the pot. This thread has been bookmarked for several months without any good banter, but now you have 'em cookin'!

Seriously, what I worry about is this self-fulfilling-phrophcey(where is the SI spell checker, again?) thing. When the media starts to report shortages, bank runs, etc. I think the average joe6pak will follow suit. He'll over-react like we thought we never could in about 10 months and then there WILL be a problem. My biggest question is, will we all wake up on 1/1/00 laughing our asses off at what we thought would happen or be glad we were so smart to plan ahead?
