I have no problems with skeptics. I think a strong dose of skepticism is good and healthy. To me, this isn't an either/or issue. I ask questions and do research on a daily basis, and I'd like to think I'm a bit skeptical about any and all bits of information until I can confirm with other sources and fit it reasonably into a larger pattern. In doing that process for the last year and an half or so, I am skeptical of feel good news which does not jive with other solid, factual, and verifiable information (about which I am also originally skeptical until I can confirm it to my satisfaction) As such, at this point in time.... I think (not believe, this isn't an issue of faith with me. Just the facts please. I want a reasoned position, not a belief)... I THINK it is reasonable and prudent for a responsible person to take basic precautions for potential disruptions which may well fall outside of what we have experienced as distruptions in the past. I hope and pray that y2k will be little more than a series of annoying tech rashes about which we will all laugh about in a year or so. But, I simply cannot find enough credible evidence at this point to allow me to be comfortable in doing nothing.
