After midnight on March 31 (2011), when you tried to access All That Chat, you got a message that said:

A little before noon, we opened the board and posted a regular message:

Subject: Posting from our new homes on St. Martin Island, French West Indies ...
Posted by T.B._Admin.

Message: No, we're still here. Still free. Our one and only ever April Fool's Day joke was 11 years in the making.

===

Mike and I were known for not liking April Fool's jokes, and we always dreaded the day. But we let people post whatever ones they wanted to, and deleted them the next day. Few were ever believed by many (but ours was) because everyone knew the jokes would be here on April 1.

I did an April fools joke one year re Scott Siegel .... I said that Scott Siegal was going to do a weekend extraganza because someone who was supposed to do that weekend at Town Hall backed out and they were stuck as it was part of Town Halls yearly benefit. No one made a comment. That Monday three days later was "Broadway by the Year" and in the program was an announcement the SIegels were doing a weekend extravaganza. I was fooled and everyone thought I had known about this.
