I Thought That Subject Was Closed Already

Today, I saw an article which noted that Family Radio acknowledged that their world-ending predictions last year were wrong and they have no interest in predicting any more dates.
Given the fact that the predicted judgement day was ten and a half months ago (May 21) and the predicted date for the end of the world was roughly four and a half months ago (October 21), and the amount of time that has elapsed since both those dates came and went without incident, I would've thought that subject would've gone cold by now and that there'd be no need to bring it up again. And yet, according to the article I found today, Harold Camping posted a letter on Thursday, which brought the subject up again.

I would also think that if Harold Camping and Family Radio were to acknowledge they were wrong, they would've done it shortly after October 21 when that date came and went without the world ending rather than wait over four months when people probably would've forgotten it by now.

Well, at least they did own up to their mistake, right? Why they waited so long to is beyond me, but hopefully, this sort of thing will never come up again and scare people like it had last year.
