Mmmm. Speaking of Roman numerals, are you one of "those" people who think 1999 should be written in that atrocious MIM nomenclature?

Personally, I go for 2M-I or --MM. :)

Only if Valentine Michael Smith sabotages E.T.'s intercellular connection, in a foolhardy attempt to spread free love among the stars.

Thus do I hereby nominate S.A.M. as the "Official Rinkmeister of the Centenium". As we are not loathe to recycle, once the LED's are recharged for a suitable duration, he will also become the "Official Rinkmeister of the Millenium" the succeeding year. :)
