alabama, you should make your text event more sensitive to "2012." I can enter 20121223433 and get it triggered. ( this is to assume someone wants to mess around with it as a joke ) Be sure to put a dollar sign at the end to ensure that it ends at 2012 like so> /^[@!.]2012$/Si- Edit - scratch my suggestion of an example. I didn't think something through earlier. The dollar sign suggestion still sticks.
