Is this an April Fool's day gag?!?! Or must I change my IE home page to
another?
Are you guys serious?  I'm writing this mail after ALMOST changing my home
page, realizing it is, indeed April 1... and thinking twice.

Hmmmm... has the site I've loved for years REALLY gone to such a drastic,
sudden change?
Hmmmm...

Oh, no! The humor is the sole reason I visit RinkWorks nearly every day! No
matter how many times I read some of the things featured on this website, I
laugh. (Excellent job on the Duel of the Ages and The Adventures of Smart
Man!) Please, don't let the quality (or quantity) of your humor slip! It
would be devastating to both me and all of my friends that get a good kick
out of your jokes.

Sincerely,
A concerned RinkWorks goer.

the serious out.

This is an assortment of responses to the April Fools prank about RinkWorks switching over from entertainment to financial services. The first two letters came from the same person, but the remainder came from different people.
