Now I don't hang out in the automotive forums, and maybe there were
some people who (before Honda introduced their Ridgeline pickup) got
totally ticked off at Honda for not bringing out a pickup when they
wanted to buy one. And they whined and complained and stamped their
feet about how they were gonna buy Toyota or Ford from now on and how
Honda, as a company, really sucked for not bringing out a pickup. Now
in my opinion, those people can spend their money on whatever they
want, but if they after switching brands hey decided to hang out in a
Honda enthusiast's forum and continue to whine about Honda, I would
really start to wonder about them.
If someone has decided to abandon Pentax for another brand, for
whatever reason, bully for them! But seriously, why would they be
hanging out in a PENTAX DISCUSS Mail List after making that decision,
unless (perhaps) they have an abusive personality and enjoy poking
people with virtual sticks? I speak only for myself here, but if I
find someone urinating in my Cheerios, I consider it to be bad form.
I don't know if that was directed at me or not, however:
1. I still own Pentax gear.
2. I still use Pentax gear.
3. 'Abandon'? Why not 'switch' or 'change'?
4. Maybe I have an abusive personality.
5. Maybe I just like to complain.
6. Maybe I'm just tired of doling out money to Pentax when, for what
is a bit more, and just barely affordable, I could have today's
technology not last years or two years ago technology.
I don't know, personally I'm not convinced that chasing the "latest and
greatest" and focusing on higher numbers (in various specs) or a longer
list of features, is generally a good way to make products. As such, I
rather like what Pentax appears to be trying to do today, i.e. make
robust, simple and usable cameras built around the "right" technology or
technology that has perhaps matured a bit, as opposed to what's most
"advanced". If anything, I'd like to see them trimming down the feature
list even more and go further in the direction of keeping things simple...

7. I hope you're not saying it's bad form to voice one's opinion even
if it is at odds with the majority in a given set of of people.
8. Do you really find a dissenting opinion that distasteful?
