Its a very repulsive thread from a standpoint of being an outsider looking for advice , contribution , and Camera talk. But it seems all of a sudden they are popping up everywhere where it isn't very welcome in new threads for the KP.
The moderator seems to be egging on the bacon , and velveeta cheese......Please stop this ?
Isnt one Satire thread enough ?

The "Why I won't buy the KP" Thread should stick to KP related entries only. It should give the poster's rational reason's or counter arguments only for possible / probable non purchase of a KP. Non KP related entries should be deleted by the Forum's Administrator ASAP. Itis not a "repulsive thread" (see quote from "Why I will buy a KP" thread). It has in fact raised a number of practical issues / points to ponder before purchase which some readers may not have thought of.

One "satire" thread is enough. The "Why I won't buy a K3" thread should be transferred to a forum for non photographic subjects (sorry Otis) with immediate effect.

If this one strays too far off topic, we'll close it. Like you, I feel one satire thread is enough! (Plus we would not want competition for that thread, now would we?

)

Not really saying I am going to or not going to buy it but I was curious about the size so did this comparison.

I wont buy one because the insurance company is buying one for me.
