Re: 11 years (was: 4 years)
I really don't know when or even why I first joined. I believe it was after 2001 or 2002 when I was still actively shooting weddings. I used Pentax 645 and ZX-5n cameras, so that must have been the reason. I remember Roberto B. and we correcponded several times off list. I recently found him on the other Pentax Forum and we traded greetings again. He mentioned his cancer and divorce. I left the group once for a few years and then came back after I bought the istDL. I blame all of you for the K10, K20, and all the other lenses I have now, including the famous t-shirt. Unfortunately, it is true that you cannot have too many! :-) The oft mentioned GFM event got me to attend in 2007 and I got to meet several of you, as well as buy a hat from David Brooks.

It appeared at random intervals for a while, whenever I had time and could bother enough subscribers into sending me photos. Steve contacted me about helping out, and we ran it together for a bit, and it was his idea to take it the free hosting sites, which then became quite unwieldy, and our good man Igor offered space at komkon. Steve handled it by himself for a period of time, then disappeared, so I got it back again about the time the serious whining about it not being published often enough yada yada began. I recall it was also when my wife was very sick/pregnant and oh, yeah, I was burying my mother, so I really enjoyed the many messages about what a slacker I was. But anyway, I browbeat Cassino into taking it over and we're pretty much into current events, but I have to say that each maintainer has raised the level of the PUG. oh, and I've been on the list since early 1996. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: 11 years (was: 4 years)
I've been trying to remember when I came on the list - my best guess is 1997 sometime - shortly after my son was born. My interest in photography was peaked then and I got going with my Super Program and then picked up a ZX-10 and went on from there. Does anyone remember Mark Dalal?

I know that was a belief shared by many of the members of the time. I remain unconvinced that Mafud was smart enough to pull off such a trick.

Re: 11 years (was: 4 years)
It was Aparicio. I recall that I sent him a friendly e-mail off-list suggesting he refrain from lecturing until he at least got to know the people on the list. Didn't help.

Re: 11 years (was: 4 years)
Boy, all these characters bring me back. We were all thinking that Mafud and Kirkland Ramsey III were the same guy. There were some real roller coaster postings in those days. I still see Rubenstein on Photo.net once in a while - he was doing wedding work in NY shooting Nikon if I remember correctly. I remember Roberto Burgos who seemed like a great guy.

Ah, yes. I remember those days well. I remember that incident, in particular, because Mafud stated categorically that it was impossible to spoof emails well enough to avoid detection, and taking this as proof positive of whatever conspiracy theory he was peddling that day. (I don't know how come I saw that post, as he was in my permanent killfile; maybe he'd changed his email address, or maybe somebody quoted his message). Anyway, he shortly made a followup post recanting that particular position. Or, at least, it appeared that he did. But very soon thereafter he was ranting and raving even more than usual, accusing person or persons unknown of identity theft, fraud, libel, and the like, and denying any and all connection to the followup post. But, apparently, the mail was spoofed well enough to make it pretty hard to point the finger at anyone involved. And, in any case, just the injection of that message pretty much deflated Mafud's argument - a fairly convincing proof-by-example. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
