Ron, Ron, Ron!...Sigh... Even Rick Cowles, can't seem to get a handle on the actual prognosis on exactly what the vulnerability level is (or he isn't talking about openly about it). He sees problems, and based upon his expertise (which I don't deny), he has maken a "SWAG" and stated we're should expect a percentage chance of black-outs and brown-outs for the first month, with minor disruptions throughout the rest of the year. ......please read my reponses to you carefully...and please wear your glasses when you do so....so I don't have to keep referring you back to my previous statements...you stay in a loop regarding, e.g., your last atatement above, quoting Cowles, which I already stated in a past post....Is your game plan to win by draining my patience? So unless you are a certified Nuclear engineer, with years of experience working in the utilities arena as he has, I frankly don't see why you more qualified than he to render a prognostication. ........similiar statement as above, except here again, you didn't read for understanding (at least, not with your reading glasses on), my related statement. ONE LAST TIME, RON! I stated the difference between his and mine is that his is a 'stand alone' predict, and mine is a systemic one!!! Please review my statements,Ron, as I intend on giving you a pop-test at any time! Ken, let's face some facts here. You can not accept any alternative scenario than utter doomsday. You see nothing but defeat and disaster in your future and I imagine you have some pretty terrible nightmares as well. .......prior addressed and devastated, ad naseum.... I'm starting to sense you're the symbiotic twin of Gary North who has been predicting the end of the world for 20 years now, with Y2K being only his latest paradigm to destruction. ........still another in your litany of fall-back cliches and disassociated remarks, when all logic fails you! You give others who know professional debating techniques a negative impression of you each time you cop-out by substituting them for intelligent and appropriate techniques! I do not deny the potential for utter disaster. .....ha-ha! a y2k cya, just in case!! But neither do I deny the potential for relativey no disruptions either. ......he-he! another cya, also just in case! We're going to fall somewhere in between normality and chaos. Where we wind up is the real question. ......now he does a cya with the fattest part of the bell-shaped curve! ......perfect cya, Ron! Per the above, you can't lose!!! he-he!!! I prefer to keep my mind open to all potentialities and not frighten myself or my loved ones with only the darkest scenarios of disaster and chaos. But, still the probablity of accidental/inadvertant exchange, esp with the Russian 'dead-hand' system (bet you do not know what that is, do you?) is less than severe Y2K disruptions... If you want to pretend to know what it is by throwing out a name... instead, please describe it, even in a couple of sentences! Tell you what, I'll even give you a handicap....before you answer, go ahead and check thru the internet or call any buds!!! Ken "its too.............for Ron!"
