Two points. First, in my line of work, we place a lot of importance on giving credit where credit is due. So if anybody makes a good point and somebody else parrots it, I try to give them credit for it. I'll say, "BBD made that point awhile back. I'll see if I can find it." if I remember it.
Second, you know how much crap I've taken for saying things that were unpopular at the time, but pretty much everyone agrees with now. Of course I'm going to mention it. People want me to issue a press release when I'm wrong but won't say, "Props to Ph for calling that years ago." That's ridiculous. Everybody should give credit when credit is due. If our fanbase wasn't so slow on the take, maybe Wake sports wouldn't be in the situation it is now.
