@BillRM,
Some of us look forward to what the next year will bring on April Fools day. It doesn't take a genius (I am proof of that) to quickly recognize the humour and simplicity of what is happening.
Weird avatars, weirder posts with animation, post stays at the top, tag clearly states April Fool etc. etc. are more than subtle clues.
Relax, sit back and enjoy the fun. Paranoia is for the paranoid.
Am I really the most annoying person on A2K?????
