You know, if people sustitute this discussion about "Willys" for discussion
about whether or not the millenium ends December 31, 1999, or if it ends
December 31, 2000, you will still find people who adamantly argue one way or
another.
Just as Todd says, "there is only one truth."

Or in the case of the millenium, they are also misinformed, or do not know
the basis for the creation of the Gregorian calendar which we all use today.
Regardless, we can go round and round, but most people will not budge. I
think both sides here will agree that their voices have been heard. Those
of us who have stayed out of this can make up our own minds.
