If they don't they are marketing imbeciles. Oh, wait, this is Pentax we are talking about...
Look at it this way there are about 600 regular list members, and sometimes as many as 1800 counting the floaters who come and go.

We are in fact Pentax's flag-wavers what we think is important, whatever they think. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- Tom C wrote: > You think Pentax is going to care that a handful of people on this list want > something? > > I don't. > > Tom C. > > > > > ----Original Message Follows---- > From: Lon Williamson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> > Subject: K1D aperature simulator survey, part Deaux > Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 13:28:37 -0400 > > I'm going to wait another day or two to finalize this survey. > I'm sorry it brought JCO back to argumentative life, but this is a > chance for the list > to show Pentax what we want.
