The USSR joins the net article did not arrive here 1 April.
Is there not a convention that jokes that are not obvious
contain the :-) symbol?

That the USSR joining the net message was a joke was (to me, at least)
obvious by a casual look at the header of the message.  Unfortunately,
the joke had one problem:  It wasn't very funny.

To the comment ``it wasn't very funny'' I can point out that I laughed
at the thought of the number of people who would fall for it!
