Didn't realise it was an April Fools joke? It's March. As in, the month
prior to April. That has to be one of the saddest attempts at an April Fool
I've ever seen.

Don't then. But trouble? Copy -> Paint Shop Pro -> Paste -> Zoom. All of
ten seconds, without taking my hand of the mouse. The only reason I put the
explanation up was because even after two sarcastic replies, including:
http://news.lugnet.com/trains/org/?n=1316
people were still taking it seriously.
And how much trouble was it to fake it in the first place? Obviously not
enough, or it wouldn't have been so obvious. I just don't understand why,
when for a little effort in picking up litter you can have your club name on
a sign, someone would go to the bother of faking it. As hoaxes go, it's
hardly Piltdown Man or P.T. Barnum's 'see the amzing egress', is it? Saying
"oh it's an April fool" doesn't make it any less weak. Anyway, how much
trouble would it have been to wait for April 1st before putting it up?

No, it means "I want the last word on the subject". Cheer up. And how
about an explanation of English grammar constructs too? I thought the
license plates were much better, btw. Should have just stuck with those. :)
