I think if we do 120,000+ posts over the summer three K-1’s will be cheap. There must be some known Posts:Clicks ratio. It’s the way websites work.

To most people Pentax is obscure.

Well obviously it didn't work,they didn't count on the vigilance of certain PF members. Let that be a lesson to them.

He is the one who started this thing. If he didn't want to "lose another K-1" he had better ways to make that happen. As it is. we won't stop taking about this thing.

Another case of "the truth is not the truth".

Oooh, I was so close! I knew I was on to something.

I'll just make up a Pentax [hits random keys] KZ922.... enter some data... these fields are mandatory, so we'll say the specs are 8.3FPS.... and when it's all done, you just click the POST button."

Sounds plausible. It's not as if they're working at NORAD.....

"Where's the recall button?"
