I won't be posting to this list until Monday, so here is a News Flash
you need to get now. Sunday's 60 Minutes will feature a segment on Y2K
including a short interview with Scott Olmsted
(http://www.prepare4y2k.com).  If you didn't see Scott in the November
30 issue of Newsweek or October 20th ABC Nightline, here's another
chance!

The post earlier today on the FDIC contained contact information that
was no longer valid.  Apparently the FDIC turned off that particular
email address.  Here is some follow up info from the Y2k Newswire.

> FDIC DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR IT!
> We previously reported how the FDIC is attempting to implement
> customer "profiling" of customers in order to "find criminals."
> We think it's an effort to discourage Y2K-related cash
> withdrawals. Essentially, banks would begin monitoring your
> private banking records in 1999, and any "deviation" from your
> "normal" banking behavior would be reported to the authorities.
> 
> These new rules go into effect in 1999 unless enough people
> scream about it. The FDIC posted an e-mail address to receive
> comments on this, and as it turns out, that address doesn't even
> work! Apparently the FDIC doesn't want to hear *anything*
> negative about this, then they can claim there were no complaints.
> 
> Y2KNEWSWIRE DIGS UP THE E-MAIL ADDRESSES FOR YOU
> Since the FDIC is soliciting public comment on this issue and
> yet they refuse to enable the listed e-mail address, we've been
> digging up some other FDIC e-mail addresses for you. If you sent
> an e-mail to the FDIC yesterday, you'll need to *send it to them
> again* today, using these addresses:
> [email protected] (the site webmaster)
> [email protected] (for help with dealing with the FDIC)
> [email protected] (for consumer questions)

> When you contact these folks, refer to the "profiling". You
> might mention we don't want Big Brother FDIC snooping around our
> private bank accounts, especially at the exact moment people are
> going to need some extra cash. To think: starting in 1999,
> accessing your OWN money makes you a suspected criminal.
