Let me put it this way. As a new person on the PDML I've only had access to the archives of 2006-2007... where I witnessed the largest flamewar in intarwebb history.
Everytime someone posts a jab at this JCO guy, he gets all pissy and responds in kind. The jab shouldn't be posted in the first place as it's inappropriate (though in this instance I was kind of amused at the mock-headline.) Inappropriate because YOU KNOW it'll cause trouble/flames. Similarly, JCO should not take the bait, predictably, every single freaking time. Not every post requires a response. Just have a beer and let it slide, man. We're all here because we like taking pictures with our Pentax gear. That should be enough. Alex On 4/21/07, J. C.
