  It is with a certain amount of transient sadness that I announce that 
I can no longer deny the call of MY soul, and must set aside worldly 
things, such as fanfiction, in order to denounce these cruel and 
merciless pranks that appear on this day, April 1st, as part of a 
tradition known as 'April Fools.' 

Happy April Fools, by the way.

  Quite frankly, there's little I find to be happy about. 
  I will not abuse whatever power I may hold on this list (whatever that 
may be-- nothing). I retain a measure of respect and dignity in doing 
so. I ask... never beg... that any of you others planning on doing your 
own April Fools joke to be VERY careful (I would prefer it didn't happen 
at all, but that is a futile hope); as seen earlier, someone didn't 
appear to take Kristia Perry's early arrival very well, and it could get 
worse, if not handled carefully (subjectivity and interpretation at work 
here). I mean, I knew this original message was another prank, simply 
due to gut reaction (same goes for every other 'Earth-shattering' news 
that happens today), but I'm sure it's not this way for everybody else. 
  I am not trying to be a party pooper. 
  Why this has to happen today is beyond me.
