No, I never construed it as a hoax. However, because "real" hoaxes are always
portrayed in such dire terms, I thought it would be more interesting to
present this one a little more genially.

I now think that was a mistake, thus please allow me to rephrase my original
note, using a more somber and realistic tone, appropriate to the situation:

     WARNING: WORLD-WIDE COMPUTER MELTDOWN EXPECTED
     MONDAY AFTERNOON!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
