[R-390] Y2K Addendum(s)

[pete wokoun, sr.]

Greetings,

  Now that a lot of folks have added their inputs as to what should be 
included, what is needed is for someone to 'take the bull by the horns' and 
start doing it.  There were a lot of good suggestions tossed out to make a 
great addendum.  Waiting for a consensus to start will not get anything 
going.  Once someone starts the work others can add to it, critique it,  and 
improve it.
  What got the Y2K done was 3 guys who decided to stop talking about it and 
do it.  Al, Barry, and I may not have the time to do it this time but we 
sure are willing to help others run with it.
