It's about time someone ferreted out this fringe developer.  While we
are at it, what about this Bruce guy?  I hear he has connections to some
fanatical, extremist religious organization?

No, I don't mean the original email. I meant the reply. I have seen this
a few times where people are replying to the -announce and it gets
approved, which means everyone gets it.

Huh?  The April Fools "PostgreSQL Weekly News" issues have routinely
been approved.  See the archives.

I don't have a problem with the original april fools email. My problem is
that a reply to that email was approved.

Yes, exactly.  The original email was fine - and quite funny - the
reply was not an announcement.
