Who really cares, anyway? A millenium is 1000 years, and a new millenium
starts every single day. No point in losing sleep over it.

I am sure that everyone has seen the explanations of why it was not the end
of THE millenium (as opposed to A millenium) - todays Daily Terrorgraph
letters page was full of them. Is there really any need to go over it (and
over it and over it)? I am over it.
