I come back here from time to time just out of curiousity. Since it's still in the bookmarks, and since I once spent a lot of time dealing with this subject.

Evidently a lot of people are still spending a LOT of time with this subject.

Sheesh.

Someone should make an industry out of this! (oh -- forgot -- someone already did)

Amusing, and sadly so. "Sweep the problem under the rug, and it'll go away."

-- Chicken Little (y2k@whatajoke.net), October 15, 2000.

What problem? I see no problem here. You must have the wrong website, this isn't Yourdon's.

"Evidently a lot of people are still spending a LOT of time with this subject."

You should stop by more often, "y2k" hasn't been debated on this forum since it's begining. The only debates taking place is who's the most misfit. You're a good subject to debate.

Hey there Chicken Shit..

I doubt if Andy, or anyone else for that matter, classifies you as a worthy opponent. As in the past you are still mired in self- deception and that alone disqualifies you as a credible information source. Now you little squawker, clean up your mess and report to the Colonel at once.

-- One (who@Cs.all), October 15, 2000.

Have mercy. Been waiting for the bus all day.

Should have known that a forum **named after the Y2k problem** was discussing problems much more serious than the Y2k joke. (???)

Jesus just left Chicago. Bound for New Orleans.

Maybe you folks will grow up and face reality someday. Until you do, I'll come here from time to time, and poke fun. :-)

As much as I probably shouldn't post this; will anyhow.

I lived through the most near-disaster-like experience of ANYone on the whole damn TB2K board in the whole entire calendar year 1999. Some little problem we had here called Hurricane Floyd. And the catastrophic floods that followed. Floods the like of which hadn't been seen anywhere in North America since Chris Columbus discovered the continent in 1492.

SO -- One (who@Cs.all), let's talk about who's a worthy opponent. I've been somewhere that not one single person who talked about all this doomshit has been. Been there. Done that. Lived thru it.

Your best bet is to shut your little puppy yap about things you haven't done.

I've lived thru things you can't even dream about. Hope you never have to.

Chicken little: You say "Evidently a lot of people are spending a LOT of time with this subject[Y2K]."

I just took a quick look at the new topic postings:

"A Giant Step back for man, a giant leap forward for the New World Order"

"Tech stocks prove law of gravity"

"Does anyone dare to take sides w Palenstinians?"

"Who won the debate last night?"

"NYT Article - Gender Sterotypes on the Net"

"Reuters: Clinton "very troubled" And you wonder why oil is up?"

"Las Vegas: Best of Poll"

Plus all the DeMello posts by FS

Plus a few nanotechnology and breaking the speed of light posts

Plus a few "what is this" quizzes and "word association" posts

Etc. I don't see y2k mentioned above. It's an ancillary subject that comes up everyonce in a while ;-)

CL, I can only guess that you're a relative newbie to the Net and never saw a flame war before the one you saw on TB I. Sometimes flame wars last for years, sad to say. Flame wars

Evidently a lot of people are still spending a LOT of time with this subject.

Sheesh.

Cpr is the #1 poster on this forum, and that isn't because he's been talking about opera. Cpr's motto is " Never again!"

Not now, not like this (AgentSmith@aol.com) --

all of these threads are posted under a forum which was borne out of Y2k

the thread subjects themselves might not be y2k-uh-huh-uh-huh themselves; but they're posted in a forum which was borne out of Y2k.

So I still maintain that people have an unhealthy fascination with something that came and went lo these 10 months ago.

(I'm checking back on this forum after many months away, and reporting what I see, lest anyone misunderstand)

-- Chicken Little (y2k@whatajoke.net), October 15, 2000.

(%@%.%), I'm certainly no net newbie. You show yourself to be a newbie to the Y2k Wars. If you'd been around a year or two ago, you'd certainly know who I am.

Read more closely, CL. I said, "CL, I can only guess that you're a relative newbie to the Net and never saw a flame war before the one you saw on TB I."

Of course I remember you. You did volunteer work in North Carolina to help the victims of Hurricane Floyd. TB I, by the way, did not make light of Floyd or emergency preparedness.

Archive of Floyd threads and the continuing aftermath

-- (%@%.%), October 15, 2000.

Listen up feathered Phule. So, after living for most of your insignificant life with no gusto, you had the mis-fortune of experiencing the awesome power of nature run amuck. For that you seem to have acquired some special insight into lifes deepest secrets. As in the past, I find your general intelligence level to be laughable. Ive talked to many folks that lived through Floyd and they are thankful. However, like myself, a good number of these same people have been places and done things that a person such as you could not fathom.

So you pathetic hillbilly, when you start poking around the anthill watch out for the rattlers.

You are a black liar.

You have not talked to anyone here who has been thru these things, and found anyone who has such attitudes.

You are a complete liar.

I have friends who are DEAD from this.

You are are a complete liar.

Prove what you say, liar. I live here.

CL, Nice to see you again. I think you are incorrect that the reason some are still here (I come by on ocassion, but not too often these days). Its not a fixation with y2k, thats gone, although we still poke fun at it on ocassion. I think most come here because they spent months/years discussing/cussing/arguing y2k, and got to know one another. So now they/we discuss/argue/cuss about other subjects. But for old times sake:

Y2K. IT CANNOT BE FIXED!

lolol.

Hey CL, hows tricks?

Oh my, a forum 'borne' out of Y2K! Heavens, we can't have THAT! Regardless of whether or not subjects covered are Y2K related. Regardless of whether or not the posters here enjoy the company of the group. Regardless whether or not heated and interesting debate on a LONG list on non-Y2K related subjects is discussed, we CANNOT have ANY forums 'borne' out of Y2K!!!

It's not right, it's just not right!

BTW, how goes your book deal, "The Art of the Troll"?

-- Uncle Deedah (unkeed@yahoo.com), October 15, 2000.

CL, you deep-fried dipshit. Where did I say that I talked with Floyd survivors HERE, on this forum? And furthermore you ignorant peckerhead, you have no clue as to what Ive heard or whom Ive talked to.

Youre looking for a worthy opponent? ROTFLMAO

Mrs. Cleaver:

Gawd, I can take it no longer!!!

Your hair should be let down from it's bun, and shaking your hair to and fro, the cookie crumbs would scatter sensually. Your dress would fall to the floor, exposing a buxom that would make Elvis howl like a hound dog. Your undergarments lingeringly removed, revealing a voluptuous figure that would heat up the cold war. Your body, lovingly oiled with that of Jiffys peanut butter, would then be ready for the Mud Battle of The Bobbi Soxers!

Come Lucy Recardo, come Donna Reed, come Gail Storm, let your prowess be tested. Nay, but the Cleaver vixen will see that your passions and furies are inflamed to heights of the Sputnik....

Hey Chicken, define "normal"...

Ordinarily, in past history, you could define normal by looking at the leaders of countries... OK... If that is true, I am DEFINITELY not normal...

Oh yeah, another point... you are here....... ; )
