No, I didn't miss anything as I was involved in three different BCP's for Y2K. Thanks for playing. I just didn't add all of the bloody detail to that post, so perhaps I overdid the brevity.
My point is that some in current management, who probably weren't in management then, may perceive through MBA eyes that Y2K was "crying wolf" since they didn't know what it took to mitigate it. As you are probably aware, management "up and out" and medium to high turnover is common.
