OK, OK before this gets out of control....yes it was just a joke, and was
really more of an inside joke with me and one of my fellow club members, not
really meant to be a joke to fool the LUGNET community, even thought I used
the newsgroup to carry out my leg pulling on my club member. I never
intended for some an obscure post to get so much attention. And really I
forgotten that April Fools day was just a week away, or I might have waited.
Jason and Kai your both very bright boys and yes "koodles" to you both for
noticing right away that I would never make it as a counterfeit artist.
Now go out and pick up some trash! :)
