Hi!
What I don't understand is the ridicule I received from you and at
least one other on the list when I suggested that Pentax Canada did
not follow the normal protocol I would have expected.
As has been explained to you at least as often as you have brought the
point up is that this was something cooked up by a sales rep, not a
summons for photos by the Board of Directors.
One individual (likely a sales guy) seems to have set it up, he seems to
have, based on some hate mail and mail asking for legalese he wasn't
prepared to provide, decided to can his little project. That he was a
little prickly about it would be perfectly understandable if Aaron is
being factual about the less than polite missives.
No one likes having their face slapped.
This isn't the protocol you expected.
Get on with life and forget about it.
It would be somehow ironic if any of the people who are bitching about
Pentax being slow in the marketplace somehow helped can a project that
could have, even in a small way, made the company more profitable.
Tom, Bill, don't you agree that it cannot possibly *really* hurt any of
you (or any of the fellow PDMLers) if you gave few 800x600 med-high
quality JPGs to Marco... Really, guys, put the legalistics aside and
think of it...
The grand total time we spent arguing this out is much more than it is
really worth. Pity we did not give Marco the pictures, really... Bill's
right - we could've helped Pentax a little, which is a noble cause. And
it is 800x600 JPGs we're talking, not exhibition size silver prints...
Boris who doesn't get it...
