Douglas Adam's would be proud of this thread title. I love it!
I think we have all gotten a little sensitive to any comments that could be perceived as a negative, even if that is not the intent. Personally, on the other thread, I was just looking for some corroboration that we might be able to cash in on a cheap KP if they were releasing the K3III soon and other stores started clearing out the KP too.
This is a rumors forum for people to have an outlet and joke around and sometimes get some serious dirt about what's coming without cluttering up the content of the other sub-forums...speculation comes with the territory here.
We need to take a breath and remind ourselves that everything that isn't glowing praise isn't a smear campaign or insult either. LLRP! (Long Live Ricoh Pentax!)
For the skittish that run to the classifieds forum to sell their gear to switch to brand XYZ every time there is a less than glowing bit of news, well, I've gotten some awesome deals and sweet gear over there...Thanks!!!... and many of those people end up coming back to RP after finding out the grass isn't greener, nor more ergonomic. Tis' the cycle.
I'm donning my Peril Sensitive Sunglasses before reading any more replies.
