I don't feel the PDML owes an apology to anybody. We are not a collective
consciousness or even an organization of sorts. I am not responsible for
anyone's behavior just as they are not for mine.
If anything Marco and/or Pentax Canada owes those who took the time to
inquire and/or contribute an apology for not having their act together.

I'm saddened to hear that too. Since no one has come forward admitting
to the jackass statement perhaps the PDML should send an e-mail
apologizing for that statement and assuring that it is not the sentiment
of the majority of the list members.

It is far from clear that a PDML member was responsible for writing that.
When pressed, Aaron became a little vague and rather defensive.

I remember Aaron from my early days on the list and as such I have no doubt
to his sincerity about the jackass statement. I can also understand a
reluctance to name names given the litigious world we live in. Whether it
is a current or former member is a valid question, as we have had a few
loose cannons amongst us from time to time. My point is that the good name
of the PDML has been hurt by this incident, whether caused by a current or
former member or someone else. While there seems to be a widely varying
opinion of the original request it appears that much, if not most, of the
list does not approve of the jackass statement. I am a firm believer in
when wrong, promptly admitting it, and making amends whenever possible.
Hence, my suggestion for the e-mail assuring him that this was not the
sentiment of the vast majority of the list members. Am I the only one who
thinks an apology is in order?
