I think the problem is that a lot of people think of DPR as a source of impartial, reliable information - which it maybe once was, but isn't any more. The constant negativity, looking for problems with Pentax, highlighting of problems they don't see as problems in other brands and grudging praise of Pentax all create the possibility that peoplewho don't know the system will be put off from trying it out - it's the potential damage to potential new customers that is the concern.
