This reminds me of a similar problem when AOL first started up in the UK. People living in the Yorkshire town of Scunthorpe couldn't join up because the profanity filter was picking up the embedded 4 letter word. AOL's solution was for these people to pretend they lived in Sconthorpe!!. -- Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K. It was this thinking that caused the problem in the first place.
