|  |      April Fool
    
    Seriously though folks, we often wait until too late to tell people how
    much we like and care for them. Well I'm not waiting, I think you're
    all a neat bunch of caring people, and I'm glad I know you. I hope
    someday to meet more of the faces behind the bits.
    
    If you're ever in California, look me up!

|  |     Charles,
    I bit. I'm awfully relieved that you'll be around for a while longer.
    
    Just call me gullible...

       I don't think it's very funny, or even mildly amusing, to play
       an April Fool's joke in a notes conference.

    Just a little curious. . .how come?  I personally thought it was
    a "good"� prank, but don't have any strong feelings about it.  I
    was sort of wondering about your point of view; while the joke
    hit no hot buttons in me, it did in some.
    
    Just idly curious (& vice versa)

    � "good" prank - oh, jeez, I dunno; one that's not injurious, I
    suppose (I know, I know. . .define "injurious", wise guy. . .)
    
    Side angle:  there's always next year, Charles, and that ol' Karmic
    wheel is a turnin' even as we speak. . .

    "Graino Salis Software", huh? That was a hint, right?

| 783.11 | DEC without Charles - what a concept! | SCOMAN::FOSTER |  | Wed Apr 06 1988 09:14 | 7 | 
|  |     Got me too. I was nearly sniffling. Then I realized that I'd seen
    something from you recently. Goodness Charles, you can't leave!
    Blacknotes wouldn't have a home! Not to mention the wonderful addition
    of your unique perspective.
    
    Frankly, I think it would be immoral of you to leave DEC. And perhaps
    we should make it illegal as well.

    gee I hope i'm not  too late. If your still here Charles, you'd
    be glad to know you don't have to leave totally.
    
    Salis Grano SW Svcs is on the USEnet, and you can come in vis-a-vis
    net.jokes.misc or net.misc.blacks (or some such thing).
    
    good luck in your new job...
