You are right, of course, and I apologize for this off-topic flame war.

It really doesn't matter if the millenium changes at 1/1/2000 or 1/1/2001.
The important thing is that all the funny things will happen in
1/1/2000...

I you were sorry you wouldn't have done it. Tnat is what my grandma
always told me and I think it applies here too.

Perhaps I wasn't sorry at the beginning, but I'm sorry now.

Well, if you want my expert opinion <g>, this group is too large and dynamic for
any definitive phases to evolve.
Such conflicts have flamed up in the past and are likely to occur in the future.
And yet this is one of the most productive and helpful groups I've seen. So
where does that leave us?
But that's enough sociological rambling from me.

What kind of funny things are you trying to do on New Years Day? : )
I personally think that y2k is a joke, but the 20th century ends on 12/21/1999
and the 21st begins on 1/1/00
It makes sense. When did the 90's begin? 1/1/90. We like Zeros for some reason,
and they're significant
The only advantage to thinking that the century starts on 1/1/01 is that the
rest of us can have a second big party.

What do you call the ten days in between? :)

I was shopping recently and saw all kinds of otherwise-cheap merchandise
emblazoned with the (trademarked) "Mark of the Millennium : 01/01/00"
seal and marked up by astronomical amounts. I would have thought it would
be much cooler to say the mark of the millennium is 01/01/01, but I guess
they didn't think that was quite as marketable. Maybe I can trademark the
"Mark of the Real Millennium" seal and make a fortune off of geeks.
Okay, I'm sorry I started this again. I submit myself for whatever
punishment seems suitable, except being forced to watch Dick Clark announce
the beginning of the new Millennium.

I call it a typo. We don't need to skip another ten days
