Back in 2014 or so there was a discussion by some of the very well known members here, about killing this fine ongoing thread...
Just remembered that for some reason.
Well back then the importance of this tread to the safety of Tokyo was not well known. Man I hope it wasn't 6 years ago. You know you are old when time flies even if you are not having fun.

As I recall, this thread was shut down for awhile, then someone, can't remember who, resurrected it, more or less, in another thread.
The powers that be came to their senses and opened The Thread again.

or maybe I just dreamed all of that.

Eating bacon and saving Tokyo is the main goal here, we've achieved both.
Nuff said.

This thread needs to be retired. Is there not some other thread that people can discuss what they wish to rant and rave about besides a worn out topic such as this? If not, start one and get rid of this stupid, in my opinion, thread. Honestly, I can tell you of 9 different people I know in Texas that have purchased a different camera system just because they saw this thread as a guest! AS A GUEST!!!!!! Even if it is satire. Time to move on people.... And this is only people that I have first hand knowledge of....Kill this thread and move on to the present, its 2020 now....or do you wish to keep Pentax/Ricoh [ and anyone who has invested in the Pentax system decades ago, such as myself ] hostage to a thread started by 1 person 6 years ago [ or however long ago this thread was started ] even if in jest? It is ok to critique any camera system but this thread now can be described as a nothing but a “Kardasian” gossip Facebook site....Wonderful.....

Have we discussed kardasians? I’m not sure. What are they and do they go well with bacon? Or haggis. Please stay on topic!

Meanwhile, near the Big Shed, this:

Boeing postpones 777X test flight until Saturday due to wind | king5.com






Saturday will be the third attempt at the inaugural first flight for the largest twin engined commercial airliner in history. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
