Flutterby™

2007-01-09 20:13:31.43722+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

I've been meaning to do this for years, but... Flutterby has taken advertising on various levels for quite a while. The domains Flutterby.com and Flutterby.net have value. Quite a few people draw a blank at "Dan Lyke", but say "Oh, that Dan" when I mention "Flutterby". And really, I've been using Flutterby as a trademark for quite a while.

So I've reworked a whole bunch of pages to explicitly reference Flutterby™ as a trademark. Nothing else changes, I just want to make sure that I've got an extra level of protection should slimeballs decide to come after my domain names (see, for example, Rogers Cadenhead's current struggles over his site which sells war games).

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
