Say, has anyone checked out the date that message was posted?

Seems to me it was April 1st.

Not enough said!!

Are we to assume that every article posted on April 1 was meant as
a joke? Even if the article appears deadly serious and had no indication
that it might be a joke?

Has the author of the offending advertisement stated that it was intended
as a joke?

Sorry, but it still seems to me to have been an advertisement and a
flagrant violation of the network etiquette, at least until the author
informs this forum that it was intended otherwise.

I rather didn't like the advertising for MCI.
