@ Paul – Dude. I went an updated our RSS feed footer a year in the future… We’re 2008, which is what the footer was at. Went back and put it to 2008.

The site itself shows a copyright date of 2007, which is accurate – Copyright dates should indicate the date of creation, not the current date.

Have I missed a date somewhere else?

A recycled or returning concept/fad/trend isn’t a bad thing at all. But think of the time period in between fad-disfavor-fad again. Where’s the money coming in during that time?

My sister wore those elephant ear jeans in the late 70s. They were big. Hot. Everyone wore them. (Who remembers the Bay City Rollers?)

They came back in fashion around, what, 2007? Guys. That’s thirty years of NO INCOME from those style of jeans.

Guess what else? The fad has moved on. Again. 2008, and my teen is back into “skinny” jeans.

And the Bay City Rollers? They were a one-hit-wonder sometime around 2006 as well for a while. One song coming back 30 years later. One song. And what’s on my radio today?

Not the Bay City Rollers. See you in 30 years, guys.

@ Kat, that was me, sorry, I wasn’t stalking you, honest. I don’t wear them to look like a dancer, I fall over a lot. It’s just freaking COLD here, and I forget to shave my legs.

I see people recycling businesses, just like leg warmers and Farrah Fawcett hair. Just like Amway, it may change its name, products, and method of selling, but if I see a man in MY driveway in a suit, he’s either a Jehovah’s Witness, or an Amway man, every time.

Businesses that don’t work, do not magically become the answer to your problems just because some marketing guy put a flashy spin on it.

@ Paul – I’ve updated the RSS post footer. The site copyright is correct.

As for Comment Luv, who says someone wouldn’t be interested in that? Doesn’t have to be relevant to this blog

Ooops, ok now I know what that comment luv check box does, feel free to ignore the link to my most recent blog post as it’s for a LFC soccer blog and of no relevance whatsoever to blogs of this nature.
