In my humble opinion, and speaking just for myself, Peter's announcements of Pentax goodies are entirely welcome here. Although I really wouldn't want to put out a blanket (no pun intended) red carpet for every dealer out there, Peter does keep us informed about about some of the rare stuff that he gets in that a lot of us tend to drool over. Besides, Peter is also a regular contributor to the PDML, passing along insights often obtained from his business that most of us (as amateurs) would often not come up with on our own. (I contrast the above with the brief flurry of activity here on the PDML by one Pentax book author, who had a lot to say here just before and shortly after his book was released, but seems to me to have been a rather infrequent contributor both before or since that time.) And, as for the CamDir web site, it does provide easy access to Peter's new ~and~ used Pentax gear, and it does seem to be frequently updated (and don't you just hate those dealer sites that keep advertising stuff that's been sold literally months before?). If there is one web site thing I would change, though, Peter, it would be the placing of your new Pentax gear on the "Other Brands" page, unlike the "full" page provided for N-k-n equipment - <g>. It's not that I "don't like the company" (I'd rather be associated with Olympus than with N-k-n), it's just that I'd prefer Pentax not receive such "second-class" treatment. <sigh...> ;-) However, Peter, just one thing: When you do get that ~really~ rare LX goody into the store, just please email me directly a day or two before releasing the news to the PDML, OK? <big sly grin> Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
