I know you'll probably never agree with me but many of the people who have said it in the past were using it as a shave excuse. I remember an AVS who started with it suddenly in the early days. They would go on their message board and talk about the great "summer slowdown" every year and sure enough sales would fall at least 30%. Right around the same time they went from the full join form to the two-stage email collector style form as well (good for the site collecting email leads, generally bad for affiliates). The owner was shady but back then you made wheelbarrows of money with low effort so it wasn't as big of a deal.
