As for the rest, I think you underestimate the power of your own
voice. The person who started this thread said he had read that
Pentax was in financial difficulties. How many other people have
read one of Herb's posts and believed it? According to Herb's
prognostications, Pentax went bust six months ago.
Let me tried to understand this: is the imaging division of Pentax
now making profit? That's the one Herb was saying was a loss-maker. He
always said that the company, as a whole, was making money.
According to their latest report (2005.11.09: Interim Report on
Settlement of Accounts ( Consolidated ) for Business Year Ending March
31, 2006), the imaging division made an operating loss.
The company as a whole is profitable.
Which is what Herb has always said. Of course he guessed whether the
company would close down the loss-making division, but of course all
anyone can do about that is guess.

I don't why you feel a need to defend the indefensible, but Herb's
"guesses" were dressed up as expert advice. Anyway, he's gone. RIP.
