Joan --

I don't intend to touch that topic with a 310-foot pole <g>. I totally agree
with you that on any current calendar starting with 1 A.D., the new
millenium doesn't start until 1 January 2001 -- but that's one dragon we
won't slay and there are more than enough others to battle! Let's just say
that any remarks I make can be applied on 1 January 2001 by anyone who has a
mind to -- and on whatever day I make them by the 82% of folks whom the
polls allege to be in favor of labeling 2000 the "millenium"!

P.S.
I also don't intend to touch the now-generally accepted fact that the
millenium really is 4 years off anyway <vbg>.
