Diane,

You're going goofy on us.

It should be obvious to everyone that these aren't from Diane.

PEACH BOTTOM, Pa.In a sterile room filled with rows of hulking 1960s- era mainframes, complete with panels of blinking red and green lights, a half-dozen technicians at the massive nuclear power plant here set out early last month to test whether one of the facility's critical computer units would understand the year 2000.

Why don't you just use your real name and the take the credit for it? But then again, who cares who gives the information, as long as it can be validated. Thanks Diane, or whoever you are.

Info - there's two "Diane's" here - one (the troll) who posted a piece of trash up on the board simply to irritate people. The second, who responded, and placed an actual link so people who "looked" would have something worthwhile to look at.

Since we can't "fingerprint" ASCII input - and would not want the government to in any case - you'll have to read things carefully as long as trolls (officially paid or simply malicious) show up. Like old time Morse code operators - you'll find out you can identify people by their process and habits - until I ever actually stop and spell check things that is.
