It's just occurred to me..  This strategy is only going to be good for
another four years, isn't it?  I wouldn't like to think what will happen
when the server thinks it's 000000 or later.  The very least you could
expect would be to lose all the news which arrived on the server between
the last time you dialled up in 1999 and the first time you dialled up in
2000.  Time for a fix, perhaps?
