No More Votes

Dear Perl Monks:

Use your votes wisely for they are the last ones that you will be getting for a while. That's right. No more votes but look on the bright side, you'll never be the scapegoat again either.

The powers that be are rethinking the whole node reputation and user experience idea. I have been informed that my services are no longer required. Can you believe that? No notice, no severence pay. Just a letter saying that I need to clear out my desk by close of business today.

Farewell,
Jorgen von Strangle aka Vote Fairy

Perhaps JavaJunkies.org is still hiring...

Dear Fairy: Perhaps you don't need to take this all so seriously. Keep in mind that today is April 1st, which for some `SV_MORTAL`s is a day in which pranks and jokes run wild. I would contact the gods to check if this information is for real. But to be sure, do so after midnight... Best regards and good luck -lem, but some call me fokat	[reply]

It's definitely time to start looking through the want ads again. I just received my pink slip. :(	[reply]

I think it's about time to start hoping for an April Fools! to appear in this node.	[reply]

Okay, if you haven't guessed it by now, this was an April Fool's joke. (I tried to hint at that with my first reply.) As far as I know, the only scapegoat is me. (It's in my contract that I will be allowed to rise in levels but never vote.)	[reply]
