Free stuff providers being compared to spammers: Correction - it was people repeatedly posting links to free stuff that were compared to spammers. Specifically, the post was a thinly-veiled attack on Acadia, who was rightfully upset. It doesn't read like an April fool at all. The object of an April Fool is to get people to credulously believe that some ridiculous thing is true (like bonsai kittens). Griping about the actions of one or two members of this forum is no April fool. It looks to me as though the poster, on realizing they were getting no support, suddenly changed tack and tried to pretend it was all a joke.
