   I dunno. FIDO is as close to "social media" as I get. No Farcebook,   
   no Tweeter, etc. From whayt I understand of the way social media works   
   anyone can pretend to be the rasal megilla and run a "wishful thinking"   
   deal like that just to see if anything of what they say sticks to the   
   wall.   
      
   But I well remember the attemped revival(s) of the bankrupt Circuit   
   City.   
      
   If Rat Shaft does make an actual comeback they shoukd "dance with   
   who brought them" rather than reinventing themselfs avar couple years.
