I'm entitled to state my opinions too on a free list. I said that *I*  
didn't give a damn about the aesthetics of the Sony lump .... not  
that others couldn't or shouldn't comment on it, or even that  
commenting about it was wrong, incorrect, or inappropriate .... and  
that *I* would like to hear more about its technical details and  
performance, which I presume others who enjoy being more than Pentax  
'brand cheerleaders' would also.

I said nothing negative to or about Ken until he decided to pick a  
fight for no reason at all and acted in such a condescending manner.  
My comment wasn't even directed at Ken, it was rhetorical. If he  
wants to act childishly, I can do without him. It is never my intent  
or desire to insult someone, and that's exactly what he was intending/ 
doing with his insinuations and condescension although he claims  
otherwise.

As you, and others, have so often stated, there is no "value" to this  
list anyway. It exists for informal discussion and banter, supposedly  
between friendly persons. It is not a source of information from  
Pentax. I subscribe because there is some fun banter, occasionally  
useful information and I can assist a few people occasionally. Can't  
take that: don't read my posts. I don't care if you do or don't,  
that's up to you.
