You doomers are not real bright. I thought you would of figured out by now that Y2K is a big joke, nothing will happen and if you believe it will then you should kill yourself now. IDIOTS

"would of"? This is a Mutha knock-off.

Debbie,

Who are you my English teacher? Get a life.

"Get a life"? Still doesn't fit. Gardendirtclods.com - not bad, not bad Ah HA HA HAH HAH ha ha help me out here with the HTML willya?

-- Debbie (dbspence@usa.net), June 11, 1999.

This is not the troll we know as "Mutha Nachu". Besides being devoid of HTML fun and games to impress the dimwitted, the content itself is too sane. Sorry, you cheap imitation troll, you are going to have to try a lot harder if you want to match the real Mutha's colorful insanity.

I figured someone would need to show them their own discrepancies - since they might be too dumb to see how transparent they really are. (But as if they care!)

And as if I don't have better things to do today.... Ugh.

-- Debbie (dbspence@usa.net), June 11, 1999.


I agree with King of Spain. Mutha Nachu, like Paul Milne, writes with a special glazed-eyes, out-of-control True Madness that's almost impossible to imitate. This plodding imposter would cure an insomniac.

Mutha

Awful graphic.

Why this smacks of a dIetER playing I don't know but it does...

I did get it! Not like some of those Pollys (Gary North comes to mind!). You think I jest about the bunker? After all, in 30+ years in the computer industry, I have seldom seen a major software maintenance project come in on time...but I have seen a lot of money spent, seen a lot of projects SAY they were on time, but still failed to make the due date. Some are going to make it. Some aren't. Just like people...

-- Mad Monk (madmonk@hawaiian.net), June 12, 1999.

Flint AGREES with me on something? Now, THAT is really insane!! (Or maybe thats not really Flint? Hmmm....)

-- King of Spain (madrid@aol.com), June 12, 1999.

KOS:

Yup, that's mee. And I'll agree with you whenever you're right [grin].

-- Flint (flintc@mindspring.com), June 12, 1999.


Sorry - both of you are confused. Flint was real; King of Spam, however, was not real when you agreed with him.....

-- Robert A. Cook, PE (Kennesaw, GA) (cook.r@csaatl.com), June 12, 1999.


Not likly that there are too many *real* posters on this thread at all (that doesn't sound like flint, or Cook) and the only real mutha post is obvious.

-- Super Polly (Fu_Q_y2kfreaks@hotmail.com), June 12, 1999.

Flint,

I agree with your agreeing with King of Spain. But I have a question for you. I have read that there is a thin line between madness and genius. Do you agree with that? And isn't it possible, with such a thin line, that Milne is actually over on the genius side? What say you?

-- Gordon (gpconnolly@aol.com), June 12, 1999.


Gordon:

Yes, some eccentric people have made some brilliant discoveries. But the image of the Mad Scientist (or Gyro Gearloose) is a Hollywood myth. The eccentrics who made those discoveries used rational thought processes to do so. Milne has been a failure at everything he's tried, his predictions have all been dead wrong, his process of making those predictions guarantees this. I'm afraid that geniuses just don't have delusions so powerful that reality cannot penetrate.

In any case, I wasn't talking about whether Milne or Mutha Nachu is a real-life lunatic. I've never met either in real life. I spoke of their mode of presentation -- how they write. Both of them have a wild and wacky style of expressing themselves.

-- Flint (flintc@mindspring.com), June 12, 1999.


Being a failure at everything you've ever tried don't mean shit, unless you stop trying.

-- Unc D (unkeed@yahoo.com), June 12, 1999.

Unc D:

How do you tell if someone has stopped trying? Do you think running away to the boonies and living off the dole is a step in that direction? How big a step?

-- Flint (flintc@mindspring.com), June 12, 1999.


I guess that would depend on what your goals are...

-- Unc D (unkeed@yahoo.com), June 12, 1999.

Flint,try not to be so harshly judgemental with people who've decided on more extreme measures.Some people have lost all faith in the very nature of the corporate structured paradigm.If y2k's a bump in the road,it seems like y2k's lack of damage will be due to luck,or y2k's potential dangers being overestimated,not project remediation success. It seems to offend you that people don't have your degree of faith in technology,IT,or corporate management.Some people think about defending the alamo,and some people think about fleeing Babylon.Some times we can get so caught up in our own subjective worlds that we lose touch that others can live their whole lives with different personalitys and viewpoints whithout NEEDING for them WRONG for having said differances.peace.

-- zoobie (zoobiezoob@yahoo.com), June 13, 1999.

whoops!...NEEDING for them to be WRONG....

-- zoobie (zoobiezoob@yahoo.com), June 13, 1999.

zoobie:

I have nothing against those who have decided on extreme preparation measures. They're reacting to the y2k threat as they perceive it, and we'll know all to soon how accurate their perceptions turned out to be.

Milne, now, ran away to the boonies *long* before y2k was on anybody's radar screen. And he's documented this himself, in bits and pieces. He couldn't get along with people (imagine that!), couldn't hold down a real job, feared the guaranteed worldwide depression that hucksters were predicting in the early 1990's, decided that organizations (especially including government) were evil, etc. And he changed his lifestyle not one whit when y2k came along. Instead, he decreed that the way he was living just happened to be ideal. Imagine that! And of course, everyone who doesn't adopt his lifestyle is deliberately killing their children, don't forget that.

Reasonable responses to a genuine threat are fine. But that's not what we're dealing with here.
