I think this should be their annual tradition like the Superbowl and March Madness pools. In this case the challenge is to put a good enough April Fool's together that they will get sued over. That is the yardstick by which the success of their efforts will be judged. If they don't get sued, it was a bad year.<GGG> Though, I don't think we will see anything this year since April Fool's day falls on a day the market is closed. I guess they get to take a hiatus until: 1. all the lawsuits are settled. 2. all of them have proper insurance coverage. 3. they forget how much trouble the got into last year. 4. April Fool's occurs on a Monday such that they can start just prior to the market closing Friday and then do a great hype over the weekend.<GGG> 5. One, some, or all of the above. I still think my idea was good relating to doing legitimate work for my newsletter<GGG>. Who knows, if they are successful, we might be able to raise enough money for their next Defense Fund<GGG>. Have a great weekend but be on guard against anything coming from the Webnode3<GGG>. AV
