Hi Post Team
I have a little query - sad, isn't it!
Why is my this weeks entry for the Post not showing up on my Space with all the others. Its showing as the last one I did was 3 weeks ago. Is it due to all the technicalities associated with the spoof page for April Fools or just an oversight with some button clicking????

Hi Red Kite
In a way it is certainly associated with the 'April Fool'. 
In order to make sure that no-one twigged the joke beforehand we reactivated our old deleted entries to use for the articles. The one we used for your item this week was, infact, created waaaayyy back in 2000! So, if you look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/MA236487?type=2 - the second page of your 'Entries' - you will see that you very cleverly managed to write it before you even signed up for h2g2 
Sorry if this is a little confusing but we have lots of extremely clever readers who use all sorts of tricks to see what we are up to just before publication. If we had created new entries for the 'real' articles I doubt the joke would have worked at all!
