Before something is fact, why don't you leave it alone. And you wonder why the skeptics numbers are growing? Keep posting BS, and after it's proven it's BS, you may create more skeptics. That's what changed me into a skeptic, FALSE Y2K claims that were shown to be FALSE. I will say this again. I have nothing against you personally. If you post what I believe is BS, I will counter post it.

Beware The Evil Tongue zdnet.com Excpert: >>>>>Rumors about Y2K have grown into an industry. They are wielded by people who make your children potential victims in every situation....... "Do you trust the government? Ever hear of "downwinders" ... do you trust big business? Are you nuts? LOL ... do you trust the Media (I used to)... trust yourself and your parental instincts. Do whatever it takes, to make sure your lil' ones will be ok."<<<< Excerpt: >>>>*But when someone appeals to you on a basis of life and death for a family member they are no longer appealing to reason. That is no longer being reasonable, it's hysterical.*<<<< Excerpt: >>>>>We have seen examples of inaccurate reporting in the press' coverage of Y2K, and that is always going to happen. It is not the standard. And in the press or among private citizens posting on Internet newsgroups there will always be elements that will do anything to foist their beliefs on others, including distortion of facts or the deliberately lie. <<<<< EXCELLENT ARTICLE !!!!!!!!!!!
