Please omit these petty items from the INFO-ADA Digest.  I have no idea why
the flames ever got started.  It seems rather obvious that the twentieth
century will indeed end 31 December 2000 and that the century of the 1900's
(and the decade of the 1990's) will end 31 December 1999.

Is there REALLY any problem?
