This is about giving prober advice to those who ask important questions.
But to bring it more to a point:
WD40 can be used if you use a tiny amount and use it as a cleaner, then clean again with alcool.
It is powerfull stuff for rusty screws, bice-chains (there only if cleaned again, because the residue after evaporation is sticky and bad for moving parts)
In almost all audio- studiotechnic- electricguitar- and similar forums it is warned "Beware of WD40!"
So actually I was very friendly in my response.
But you just want to stick with it (and yes, WD40 is sticky after a while)

C'mon... the repaircosts for a K-r would be at least US$ 150.
We don't have to discuss this!

Not attacks at all. Putting errors straight! That's all.
There should be a strict warning:
!!! NEVER US WD-40 on contacts of a Pentax if you are not able to right away clean it off !!!
Advice given to just spray it inside your camera is wrong as wrong can be!
Of course: We are speaking of THE WD40 you recommended, not the new WD40 contact cleaner.
