My take on it is a little different. A lot of the people on this list have been very loyal Pentaxians. Very partial to Pentax. So they get pained when Pentax falls below the bar on their long range plans (re marketing, slow delivery of their first DSLR, plans for future lenses, etc.). And/or when things, camera-wise, are not as good as they feel they could be. Or as good as they feel Pentax CAN DO based on what they have already done in the past (which is pretty d*** good).
