Well, I tried - GNU Terry Pratchett

Hi Adrian:

Again this year we had more April 1 submissions than we can publish;
we have selected a few for publication.

Having considered all the submissions carefully, we are unable to
publish your "Recommended explicit padding bytes used in Internet related protocols" submission this year.

However, thank-you for submitting it.
