What are the odds this is an April Fool joke?

This is damn peculiar. If it was a joke, would he keep it going this long? Is he in debt? Embracing Buddhism and giving up all his material possessions? Suddenly just REALLY sick of the Who after 22 years? Seems like if he was needing to raise money he would just sell part of the collection, or sell it piecemeal. If he was sick of the Who he wouldn't be offerring to maintain the website after it's sold. Curious...

He'd mentioned something similar to me offhand a year or two ago, but I just figured he was talking out of his ass.

And why is he still updating his site on a daily basis? It sure doesn't look like he's simply lost interest.
