Rather than present an insinuation about Pentax Canada's business
practices by posting interpretations of the note, here is the text of
the message sent to me on Saturday:

Subject: RE: Pentax Wants Your Digital Pix
Hello,
Due to the negative response on the forums and all the questions
people
kept asking about copyright the powers that be have decided that we
will use
other sources to find images. We received great images but due to the
problems it has been decided that it is more trouble that it is
worth. Thank
you to all the people who sent in images. There were about 10
people who
sent in images and I will be contacting them individually with this
message.
Again, thanks to all who sent in images.
Marco was very responsive when I corresponded with him, I submitted a
gallery of 20 images for him to select from and he wrote back to
thank me within an hour. It sounds like his project for the marketing
department foundered due to a perceived negativism expressed in
people's responses.
I'd have cut it short as well.
Godfrey
