Yeah, a lot of people do that (I'm serious, I'm talking about real life
there).

Bingo !!!!!!
I never said I dissagreed I simply pointed out that there did not need to be
a year zero when counting time as long as you have a zero reference point
to start counting time from. Lance is so easy to bait he jumped in without
even reading my message. I snicker in his general direction !

Perhaps then my contributions aren't really necessary here.

There are times at which the efforts involved in things seem to out-weigh
the benefits.
Right now is one of these times. At the moment I'm sick, run-down, haven't
slept in several days and I've still got more work to do (not including
school).
Thus, I retire from these groups until my health returns to normal and I get
more than six hours of continuous sleep.
I'll return in a week when hopefully my life will be in a more stable
condition.

Well I get a little weary of folk who can't see that while we all agree
that they may be mathematically correct about the number of years that have
passed, they are nonetheless quite wrong about when the Millennium ends. It
ends when we say it does.
But don't take it personally, some folk are just more literal minded
that others, right now, the less literal people rule...

Hey! No fair!
Now I've got Breyer's Yogurt all over my monitor! Just when I was
going to type a witty and telling rejoinder about the value of a
mathematical mind being devalued in an age of Grade 8 reading level masses
of Astrology following minions of the Orwellian Newspeak driven media...
But now that I've been branded illiterate (and we all know how
painful -that- can be), I'll just have to say, "doy huh! I better go buys me
some lottery tickets befo them puters all get a y2k virus an I has to hide
up in the cellar wid my rifle and my cusins"

Sorry about your monitor. Really. But I think Grade 8 is exaggerating a
bit, don't you? That's far above average.

Where did I say you rule? :)

Ah, yes. The lottery. "Ya gotta play to win!" Because of the lottery
(aka tax on people who can't do math) my taxes are lower. I feel like
a winner. I'd say you have to play to lose, really.
