So the Mods (GD) have a sense of humor -

[UTUSN]

I asked for a policy clarification, whether the AF jokes were allowed in GD so as not to waste our and their time in Alerting on them. I got this reply:

*********QUOTE********
After much deliberation, the moderators have decided to remove the alert button from your available functions for the next 24 hours. The button will still appear to be there and it will actually lead you to a *reason* screen, but we will never see it. Feel free to use it at your will and have a great day.

Just kidding! We will be leaving most of the April Fool's Joke pieces in GD unless they create a problem, and will most likely move them tomorrow if they are still active. Happy first of April.

:hi:

The blank space before the answer at the bottom was much wider, so I was going through the suckered stage until I scrolled down. I actually SMILED, so I *do* have the remnants of a sense of humor.


But, hah!1, they are so PC they don't say April "FOOLS" Day, they say, "first of April"!1
