I am shocked and surprised that they would close it down just before the end of tax season! Oh, wait -- reset -- they've done this before. Any good folks over there who should be privately informed of our merry little band here? Catherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJM Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Eric, this sounds to me like you are pulling our various legs.. This means you ARE joshin', right? My first thought was, Oh No, they threatened to sue because of the name usage. But then it would be easy to just change the name. Now I think you are kiddin !

Lion EA Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Don't even JOKE about it. It was too short a time ago to not still smart. We'll send you barbeque, Eric. Or, would you like my first born? Eric, how could you encourage him?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Shocked! The blood just drained from my face! Yes, barbecue, steaks, lobster (no, you get better lobster there), please don't toy with us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Managed Solutions Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 This was the first thought I had on my mind this morning when I woke up. Thanks to Eric for making it happen. He makes all our dreams come true, or at least our Fool's Day wishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Managed Solutions Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 He sent me an email not even 5 minutes after the post and said he had to admit it was a joke because he was being bombarded with PM's. So it must have been quite a bit :spaz: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Some folks sure know how to have, uh, fun! This was especially clever given the ugly history which brought about this community. I just couldn't/didn't want to believe it could possibly happen again. Please be kinder to those of us of a certain age, though. We tend to shock easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catherine Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 It never occurred to me that Eric could mean THIS group! For one thing -- if he needed money, we'd all open our wallets right away. Next, if it was getting to be too much TIME, he would have said something. I can't think of ANY problem he could run into where he wouldn't ask for help and GET it right away. WHOOSH! That's the sound of this joke passing over my head. (Good thing I'm short! ) I thought it was completely possible for CCH to have not learned a thing from their prior stunt, though.

ILLMAS Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 This a good place, I wouldn't want to see it go. I use to post at the TaxAlmanac but there are a couple of schmucks just waiting to see who misspells words and plus sometimes people are not helpful.

BulldogTom Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 ERC - you SUCK!!!! That has to be the best April Fool ever. My heart was in my shoes. I could not believe it was going to happen again. You got me good. Tom Lodi, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 He got me better than good. I felt the blood drain from my brain and started crying; as well as having that icky sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I have been going on the other board about once a day to see if I can help anyone out and there is not even a glimmer of comparison to this board. Oh My God, Eric!!!!
