I agree with Pete's point - I'd very much like to avoid the major fight 
which seems brewing over this (quite frankly, I regret
ever taking this to a poll in the first place)

After seeing what some people have said WRT other major media 
orgainzations doing April Fools hoaxes (the NYT and BBC) I've softened 
my position a bit. I'll go along with it if Mav does -- I'm still wary 
of putting a hoax article up, but as long as it is
subtly marked as such, I'm OK with it (someone suggested putting it up 
as 'Today's featured [[nihilartikle]]")

I'd also like to hear Jimbo weigh in on this.
