"This is the Big Secret that all the major corporations and governmental agencies assume. This is the unspoken reason why Fix On Failure is ultimately the solution of choice and why remediation is a Trojan Horse." Damn! I hope he is wrong about that otherwise "the handwriting is on the wall" will turn out to be "gang graffito" J.L.T.

The hitch in that line of reasoning is the fact, as was posted here I think, that it may well be very difficult to sort out the true cause of many y2k glitches. In fact, many y2k glitches may be inextricably woven into a mesh of other problems and considerations. A blanket legislative indemnification for y2k suits could become embroiled in other legal actions brought to determine where the y2k part of a problem begins and ends, and where negligence, malfecience, and other actionable activities are to blame.
