Back in 1999, I received over 300 pieces of email asking me to certify that
(a) tools my company had written and given to people, (b) tools I had
written under contract, or (c) both were "Y2K compliant".
I finally put up a web page explaining why all of these people are basically
either stupid or insane (since none of the work I had done did anything at
all with dates and thus there was no issue here.
I closed with a bit of text that may provide context to the suggestion here:
---- If you have further questions, you may mail them to y2k@trigeminal.com. Please be aware of the fact that the server will throw all such inquiries away without review, so you will not receive an answer; but if it makes you feel better to send mail as some sort catharsis, then TSI has made the option available to you. ---- :-) MichKa
