I don't think the internet is a valid place to try and pull an April fool joke, purely because of the time differences. If you do try and pull an April fool joke, it should be something that hurts nobody, but is possibly believable. I live in England and the most famous one was when the BBC convinced everybody that spaghetti grew on trees. Okay this was some time ago, but lots of people believed it and it hurt nobody. The stunt pulled here could have caused alarm and distress and should never have happened. I do not know if this was a one person stunt or not, but in my opinion, the guy who pulled it should offer a grovelling apology and promise to never do anything as stupid again. my one Penny's worth Rowland _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
