How gullible is everyone?!?!?!?  April 1 is April Fool's Day!  This same
thing happened on the IRTC (Internet RayTracing Competition) mailing list
announcing POV-Ray v4.0 beta 1 was out.  I might have actually believed
that (since POV-Ray v4.0 is to come out in the next couple months), but
ticalc's announcement was WAY too obvious.  All I can say is that some
people will believe anything.  Maybe this is the reason why SPAM works.
