      I like a good april fools day prank, but it gets really old when 75% of the internet is posting nothing but stupid fake news stories all day long. Its gotten to the point with a lot of sites there is no point in even loading them because you know there will be no real content for the day. Toss in the fact that most of the pranks aren’t even funny and it makes me hate the day. We need to go back to the time when april fools day was about a carefully crafted prank in the sea of real, rather then a flood of poor jokes.

      What’s worse: I still get asked whether this was a serious proposal :-(

      It’s bad when you have to retract an April Fools Story because everyone thinks you are serious. It’s even worse when years later folks still ask you about it…..

      Is there a good RFC1149-compliant bridge I can submit my comments via tomorrow? Do they still have carrier bandwidth to rent?
