will immediately shut up and go to bed without their supper.
Don we hereby appoint you as enforcer of unenforcable rules. However
make sure the rule is truely unenforcable before you attempt to enforce
it. Mistakes will not be tolarated!

Kevin, you forgot one:
Us COFs (Crusty Old Farts) will now be referred to only as "Sir",

When we disagree with each other it is called a right to our own
opinion.
If a non-COF disagrees with us, they are merely ignorant.
This will promptly squelch most arguments/flames.

I agree.
Only pro-Pentax mails should be allowed.
You must earn min $40k p/a using pentax to be eligible to post.
If you own another brand camera you must never mention it and
Pentax in the same sentence.
All film bodies will no longer be regarded as PRO Level.
The Brotherhood (and sisterhood) to be abolished.
Discussion of Darkroom chemicals will be regarded as terrorism.
Victor Hasselblads 100th birthday is today.
Pentax employees and sales reps may not use a .sig file
Discussion of 3rd party lenses to be limited to companies
affiliated with Pentax.
Speculation of any sort is to be shunned.
Humour to be limited to sarcasm at about other companies.
NO SEX! This is Pentax.
Offensive posts will be regarded as any that do not mention
Pentax a minimun of 12 times.
If you have a problem with a Pentax Camera it should not be
mentioned here.
The moderator reserves the right to edit all postings to maintain
a pro-pentax perspective
BLAME DENMARK!
The history of Pentax now begins with the release of the *istD.

You can use this as a basis for the moderation of the new mailing
list. I thouht instead
of PDML it could be called PPPP (Pentax Pentax Pentax Pentax).
enjoy.
