To be fair GI seems to mean "generally agrees with opinions on this forum regarding Y2K problems, technical and otherwise" while DGI seems to mean "generally disagrees with opinions on this forum regarding Y2K problems, technical and otherwise". I'm communicating this without bias - just an observation.

I think you've got it mil.

GI is the old term for doomer. DGI is the old term for polly.

But TROLL is still the same. Idiot. Moron. Jerkoff. Asshole.

Oops, this is public forum... <:)=

I'm not trolling; I answered notforlong as honestly as I could. No need to be excessively rude. I really don't care about petty arguments you've been involved in, and I'm not interested in perpetuating them.

mil: I'm sure that Sysman was talking about Craig, not you.

Yea mil, chill. No problem. Sheesh, I agree with you! <:)=

Hmm... sometimes text on the monitor is easy to misinterpret -- notorious detriment to e communication (and it always has been).

C'est la vie.
