Well, maybe I'm the one who has got it wrong, but this looks very similar to a number of emails I've received in the past, which I've always thought were some kind of spam or scam, although I haven't quite understood what exactly they were supposed to trick me into doing. The messages I'm talking about (I haven't kept any of them, unfortunately) haven't been about Pentax cameras, but seemed to touch upon some subject or the other I had expressed an interest somewhere on the net. Their text has been a more or less incomprehensible (auto-generated?) collection of words related to the subject - organised into nearly grammatically correct, yet more or less meaningless, sentences...
