Which unfortunately got delay several days because of me not being in the 
office to approve it, thus clobbering the joke.

As far as starting it early, I wrote AI12-0841-1 right after the previous 
year's April Fools day. And I spent time on it and the associated "news" 
post for a week before posting it. (And I failed to get Wordpress to post it 
on April 1st. Perhaps there is a pattern here. ;-) Doing these things right 
takes a decent investment of time.
