I can empathize with the people who weren't paying attention. I was so frazzled yesterday that I don't think I would notice the color of the send button. It didn't really occur to me that the actual button is blue. It would have to be in rainbow or psychedelic for me to notice yesterday. I can imagine people on a deadline yesterday not taking the time to notice something like that, particularly if they forgot it was April Fool's day because they had their head down working on their project.
