You're right Bruce. No one is going to change anyone's minds about the issue. So, it ends up not being a discussion as much as spouting one's views, to the pleasure of the like minded, and the displeasure of those in the opposing camp.
And I'm sure that the whole thing is most aggravating to those who are in between, but have to delete dozens of posts that have nothing to do with Pentax, photography, or anything remotely connected to it. Let me apologize if my earlier post was misinterpreted. I was attempting, in what I'd hoped would be a semi-humourous way, to ask for a cessation of the thread. At the same time, I let my position on the issue be known, although I tried not to enter the argument itself (ie: respond to a specific post, or discuss the issue itself). In retrospect, that was a mistake on my part. In fact, since portions of my post were repeated several times, it appears that it had the opposite effect that I had hoped, that is to end the thread. Again, apologies, and please, let this end now. cheers, frank Bruce Dayton wrote: > For or against - this is definitely not the list to be discussing it. > The basic problem is that it is such a polarized issue that it is not > a discussion at all.
