So what is a "rendonite?"

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

I apparently have been accused of being one, and honestly don't have the foggiest idea of what one is :-)

My guess is that it refers to some flamewar months ago (for which I was not present, being such a fanatical Pollie that not only did I not perform a single prep, I never bothered to read a single Y2K group till Dec. 30th or so, out of curiosity :-)

A RENDONITE referrs to the Rendon Group, the organization hired to do Koskinen's Community Conversations, advertised as calls to community awareness, but characterized as calls to community somnolence by those from the Forum who attended many of them.

Confession is normally good for the soul, but calling oneself - accurately, in his case - 'a fanatical Pollie' indicates, together with 'I never bothered to read a single Y2K group till Dec. 30th or so', that here we just have another yapping hyena on our hands....

Whitley,

Getting annoyed by the Krempasky news truth patrol, aren't you? :-)

Must be a Y2K problem with my check from the government for performing Y2K spin control...I haven't seen any yet :-)
