Good site Sam. I can also add as a PC tech (& web surfer) - I'm seeing *many* problems. Like I said earlier its the 'Death of a Thousand Cuts'.

I don't see anywhere on the site where they even attempted to list computer glitches pre-2000.

Krempaskey: into which of these categories do you fall?

From a post yesterday by Harbor Guy: "There are four kinds of opponents on any popular, focused Net forum: 1. Obsessed persons; 2. Genuine trolls; 3. Persons hired by PR firms such as Hill & Knowlton et al.; 4. Persons who are "cybervolunteers" for political and activist organizations. Most of what I have seen on TBY2000 over the past days fit into categories 2 and 3 and 4."

...because of course there's no one here who is honestly looking for signs of escalating failures and - honestly - failing to see them.

Caveat: yet. They might happen. But I don't see them right now. Mostly just wishful thinking.
