    I literally said in my first comment:

    The good part is that the harm was mitigated for the most part through due diligence of IT workers.

    What more should I have said?

      It’s not what more you should have said, but what less. It’s the “people were worried about nuclear armageddon” thing that’s the problem here. You’re making it look like the concerns about Y2K were overblown and silly.

        Well you’re welcome to think that, but that wasn’t what I was talking about. I was talking about what people were actually worried about rather than what the person claimed people were worried about.

        I literally quoted what I was responding to, so I have no idea why you’re taking that away from what I said that I was suggesting Y2K wasn’t a big deal when I wasn’t even discussing the reality of the situation.
