All companies that have press and public relations departments ensure that press clippings and relevant reaction is catalogued and filtered for use by market research and others within. Of course, it depends on the size and disposition of said PR Dept as to how far they go in gaining reaction and from what source, and how far they take it. I know for a fact that various personnel working for Pentax in various parts of the world have been known to monitor the list, whether through choice or instruction, and whether through their own research or through being provided with the relevant info. I won't back up my claim (for obvious reasons) with any hard evidence, you'll just have to trust me on that, or not. It should not be any great surprise. After all, knowledge is power, huh? I wouldn't place too high a priority on this as a hotline to the top Pentax brass though :-) Regards, Cotty ____________________________________ Free UK Macintosh Classified Ads at http://www.macads.co.uk/ ____________________________________ Oh, swipe me!
