A request for your consideration regarding CAT:AOTR

...My guinea pigs and the "A"s through "S"s having felt this message was OK to go forward with (or at least not complained bitterly to me about it :) ), today it's the turn of the "T"s through "Z"s (and beyond, apparently)! I'm hoping that more of you chaps/chapettes will point to their own criteria instead of mine :)... it's flattering but a bit scary! :) Also, you may want to check back to the table periodically, someone later than you in the alphabet may have come up with a nifty new idea. ++Lar: t/c 20:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Y2K image

As you suggested, my major reason for removing it was that it wouldn't display, and, as you also point out, the problem was a missing [. I'm pretty neutral about restoring it. It doesn't add information, but, at the same time, I'm not adamant that Wikipedia be dull, and have been zinged a few times for writing with a flair. If you restored it, I would not object.

It happened I was the network architecture consultant for the US government Y2K center, and we had an "official unofficial graffito" you'd find on bulletin boards: "The Dark Ages were caused by the Y1K Problem", occasionally accompanied by a cartoon of a rather villainous looking Viking. Sometimes, the Viking would be reading from a piece of paper, "Slaughter sheep, ravish women, take loot, burn houses. Order important."
