It's interesting to note that Tom paraphrased the Pentax message he received, and while I'm sure there's no attempt on Tom's part to obfuscate matters, subsequent messages by Godfrey and Aaron shed a somewhat clearer light on the situation, and, at least in my opinion, make the actions Pentax much more understandable.
I get the sense that Pentax received a number of mean-spirited missives from this list. Perhaps I'm wrong, but if not, I'd not be surprised.
