<> I did read about a hospital recall for defective pacemakers which had nothing to do with Y2K. You have not challenged that.<> This is a totally illogical and equally ridiculous statement !: why should I/how could I (much less be the slightest bit interested enough to) challange some hospital report I never heard of recalling pacemakers for a non-y2k related problem ? Don't you at all see the gross illogic of that statement ???? <>You have given NO proof to believe that pacemakers would have any Y2K problems.<> Another totally illogical and ridiculous statement! Obviously I have no proof, nor did I state a belief (you obviously need to carefully read statements before reacting like you did) that they have such problems; all I did was report what I was told about one hospital recall. Do you understand now the illogic and absurdity of your statements??? <>Before you post such irresponsible opinions, which deal with a life and death issue for those with pacemakers, please think about the harm you could be doing.<> Still another totally illogical and ridiculous statement/s! Can you not read? I did not state an 'opinion' (however, YOU were the one admanantly stating an opinions) in that hospital recall post! Can you not see how equally and grossly illogical is your statement here also? Go back and read, slowly and carefully, word-by-word, my statement about the recall, then compare that statement with all your resultant illogical statements, then perceive just how foolish you now look with all your illogical, ridiculous and totally misquoting statements! Additionally, my last two posts dealt with your absurd and illogical statements (if not also, a falsified statement about your 'friends', right?) regarding the local hospital recall, and with the false pretenses and insults in attempting to bait me. The fact of your post/s dealing with some software technicalities has no other relevance than that. By the way, just how technically knowledgeable are you about embedded systems, the real key to y2k??? Again, and for the last time, if you wanted to know the name of this hospital for some important personal reason, you should have CORDIALLY ASKED, preferably by PM, rather than your ongoing and provoking demands and insultive remarks. Ever heard of proper netiquette? And, have you never heard about how you attract more.... with honey than vinegar? Put it to rest and focus on studying the important things, than continuing to 'have to make yourself right' with your continuing absurd insults and illogical statements and intentionally (?) misquoting my statement. Do yourself a favor since you are obviously so obsessed about pacemakers y2k potential suseptability- call several manufacturers yourself and ask them! Doesn't that seem logical to you as the correct way to find out?? Finally, please keep your promise to not respond again. EOD! Good luck.
