The problem is that having flamwars on corporate web page isn't good for either the 
image or business, independent on how jovial people find it. It was said last spring 
that the host (Pentax) threatened to close down the group if the flamewars didn't 
stop.  
However, I believe the main reason is that theres no point in having a corporate 
hosted discussion group like this. It made sense back in '95 when started, but not 
anymore.
