I agree with Paul on this, so a -1 from me too.
Too much of a risk that people don't think it is funny, or of offending someone. I can't really think of any potential PR or marketing gain for us from making a joke like this.On Thu, Mar 31, 2016 at 11:14 PM, Paul W. Frields <stickster@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

-1 on this idea. April Fools Day isn't a global event, for one thing,
so we'd be going over the heads of some folks. Also satire runs the
risk of poking people in the eye unintentionally, and we shouldn't be
doing that either. I think this idea has come up multiple times over
the last 13 years and usually shot down for the same reasons. Let's
leave the April Fools stuff to the snarky outlets.
