Personally Jeremy, I'd just view the plausability of Tom's joke as part of
the thing that made it classic.
I admit, if he did this frequently it would be irritating and possibly put
people off checking, but I don't personally see how a single harmless april
fool's joke could put anyone off downloading a game.
As long as Tom doesn't make a habbit of issuing false release info I don't
really see anyone being so overcome with rage as to never play his games
again, or anything like that.
As for the checking E-mails business, Tom did state in the original message
that it was a Joke.
When i myself have been especially busy working on my phd or away from my
computer for long periods, I go through my E-mails sequencially, and read
those that look interesting to me (even release info for new games sinse I
usually like to know about new features).
As I said, this just strikes me as a simple, easily corrected mistake, and
no reason for yourself, or anyone else to become irritated, nor do I really
see what you mean about it not including people.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
