Popular Woodworking - April Fools

[Woodlvr]

I totally fell for the Popular Woodworking April Fools story in the new eZine issue 271_5. I googled the name they used-it was a mis-spelling of Lei-Neilson, Unfortunately for me it took me straight to a full open page of pornography. I was so mad that I sent them an email telling them of where the miss spelled word took me to, THEN after hitting the SEND key I realized that it was an April Fools story joke. I need to clean the egg off of my face for falling for it (my mistake) but I was also upset about where the name even though it was spelled wrong led me to. My point is I hope that no one else fell for this the way that I did. It was an amusing article about power tools. Thanks for allowing me to vent- in my shame. :frown: Well they say we live and learn-well some of us anyway.

I am sure they did not intend the name to be connected to porn site. Good you sent them an email. Maybe they will do some basic checking before they publish next years joke issue.

Thanks Tim. That is what I thought. I know it was my fault for falling for the story- it was a ludacrous idea and I thought that it was for real. These days who can tell sometimes.
