Well Here Is TRUTH. I have no need to argue further. We are celebrating a decision of THE MILLENNIUM SOCIETY whoever they are, because it is acceptable to society in general. WE are happy with a LIE . So be it.

Dear Philip, Thank you for your recent inquiry. You are correct in your definition on when the New Millennium starts. The Franklin Mint is completely aware that the precise definition of the Millennium is the year 2001 since the world went from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D. and we did not have a year zero. We spent a lot of time examining whether to commemorate this occasion on January 1, 2000 or January 1, 2001. The Millennium Society has given the year 2000 the stamp of approval, the world is concerned over the Y2K bug (which will not be a problem in year 01), and society in general has decided that it is more exciting to celebrate the change from 1999 to 2000 instead of 2000 to 2001. With all of that in mind, The Franklin Mint has chosen to commemorate the turning of the calendar from 1999 to 2000.

This is now a serious error or a case of misrepresentation for profit. Any school kid who studies arithmetic knows that the year 2000 is the LAST year of the 20th century, and the end of the second Millennium, not the beginning of the third. Just as the 1st Century began at 1AD and finished at 100AD so also did the 20th century start at 1901 and finishes in the year 2000. Two millenniums represent 2000 years. No one can say that 2 millenniums are 1999 years. Basic arithmetic lesson: 1 to 10 is equal to one decade. 1 to 100 is equal to one century. 1 to 1000 is equal to one millennium. As a suggestion, to avoid your being sued for misrepresentation, all may not be lost. You could no doubt sell all this stuff as a valuable collectors item representing the biggest boomer the world has ever made. Certainly many are making the same mistake, but voting on it cant make 9 equal to 10. Regards Philip Madsen. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 14, 1999 2:48 PM Subject: Franklinmint.com is here! > We have exciting news and we are telling you, our valued collectors, > first... > > The Franklin Mint is now The Collector's Choice -- On Line! > > Our web site is now available at: HTTP://www.franklinmint.com > > Featuring over 500 of our collectors' favorite products and the > ability to create your own personalized address book and gift > reminder system, FranklinMint.com combines the joy of collecting > with the ease of shopping online. > > Visit FranklinMint.com today and register!
