There we have the solution: The Pentax people do read this list of course, and they've read all our whining looking to C***n or N***n, so they named their new model *ist(-D) which is, tongue-in-cheek, for "Canonist" or "Nikonist". It should be obvious, that they couldn't print those names on it ;-) Thomas *g* > David Madsen > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.davidmadsen.com > > -----Original Message----- > From: mike.wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 2:16 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Asterisks (WAS Re: PAW - My Grandaughter) > > Hi, > > Shel wrote: > > > Well, Larry, as long as there's a Pentax somewhere in your > > life, the rules keeper must consider that, and that, had you > > had the Pentax with you, you'd have used it instead of the > > asterisk brand.
