04-03-05, 10:56 AM Hello all. Perhaps some people have forgotten what to do on April Fool's day when someone post a hoax. While it may make you feel superior to A) recognize a hoax and then B) post that it is a hoax, play along. The more people that coment on a post (that appear to take it seriously), the better the hoax. Playing along even though you know it is a hoax is what makes things truly interesting. As you read through the posts, you don't know as to whether someone is playing along or has been taken in. Speculating at the foolishness or intelligence of posters is way for fun than the instant gratification of posting: hoax.

Thanks for reading and I hope all will keep this in mind for next year.

Agreed. This is totally off-topic.
