Wow, an interesting question...
First off I would have to recall when I joined the list - it was sooooo
long ago (remember the Who ?)...
I can state that recently list members and such (GFMtn) have enabled me
to get into my 645n system and most recently my 67.
I could look back to see which lenses I got when, but I think that I can
safely say that the list has helped me out immensely in adding to my
photographic collection.
I have gotten 645 lenses, M42 lenses, K-mount lenses, Screwmount
cameras, and even a couple of LXen from list members - so my enablement
has been that deep from the list directly not to mention the discussions
about different lenses that have made me begin to search them out. I
know I got my M42 fish-eye because of discussions here.
My current Pentax collection - approximately consists of:
5 screwmount cameras
14 k-mount cameras
2 645n cameras
1 67 camera
1 digital p&s
2 *ist D cameras
11? M42 lenses
24? K-mount lenses
4 645 lenses
1 67 lens
My inventory has not been updated recently - I need to do that at some
point - and so the numbers above are a bit vague.
Of course, my former Pentax Rep - Don - was instrumental in getting me
involved with the MZ-S, *ist D, and the Limited lenses, along with a
few other asundry odds and ends :-)
I hope I enabled a few people along the way myself :-)

Since joining the list in February, I've experienced enablement in the
worst way. I have acquired no less than one body, three primes, one
zoom, a camera bag, everything necessary to process black and white
film, a film scanner, at least one photo magazine subscription, a
handful of random assorted other goodies, and one digicam. I hold
Bill Robb ( and most of the rest of you ) personally responsible. But
not Frank. Based on my limited experience, he's the only one immune
to this nonsense. <g>
To continue a recent survey trend, how has the list inspired ( coerced
) you to become enabled?
