Or whatever. :)


Yes, I did specifically avoid saying "millenium".

It is definitely a new century.

It's no more, or less, a new century than it is a new millennium. Note
carefully I take no position on the main questions (1), but do assert
logical equivalence.

As to how to spell my name, it's(2) not that hard. After all, I figured
it out by the time I was 10.

1 - in this missive, although my stance has been articulated elsewhere.

2 - note correct "'" position.. "it's" is short for "it is", it is not
the possessive of "it". (3)

3 - I LOVE being a pedant.

(...) Hey, even I've learned how to spell it, though I've had lots of practice recently :-) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma, lugnet.loc.us.nh, lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.loc.us.ct, lugnet.loc.us.vt, lugnet.loc.us.ri)

(...) You're right. I'm usually very anal about that one, to the point of writing "it is" instead of "it's" 90% of the time so as not to blow it. If I realised I'd typed it, I'd have changed it. eric (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma, lugnet.loc.us.nh, lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.loc.us.ct, lugnet.loc.us.vt, lugnet.loc.us.ri)

(...) Yes, I did specifically avoid saying "millenium". It is definitely a new century. I Suppose I could have said "NELUG's first meeting of the new month", but that sounds really really unimpressive. ;) eric (25 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma, lugnet.loc.us.nh, lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.loc.us.ct, lugnet.loc.us.vt, lugnet.loc.us.ri)
