Sorry Leo, but even WE at SDAUG are tired of the April Fool nonsense. Joe has
been a member of SDAUG and SDADS (San Diego Amiga Developer Society) for some
time now and he IS the author. He has shown it in various stages of completion
to both groups and we are impressed.

BTW, the president of the SDADS group. Phil Mecurio, is the person who is
doing the Amiga port of Dungeon Master.

A lot of people in our group were pretty pissed at the whole thing and at the
last SDAUG meeting on May 3, our president kind of got the picture that "we are not amused".
