No, no.  I was and am aware of Stan's three points.  My question was
related to the somewhat humorous message that Wirt sent.  In the last two
paragraphs, specifically, I thought it was funny about putting the product
on the list even though it would cause "confusion" to the customers.  After
the Heaven Gate:April 1 posting, I actually did wonder whether it was April
1 again.

As Wirt pointed out in his response to mine, sometimes when one can be so
witty with the written word, it can be difficult for the reader to know
when to take them seriously.  I figured that at least part of the posting
was real, which was why I asked *which parts*.
