I'd also add that I was:
1. Never arguing against giving photos to Marcos
2. Never arguing that was I concerned with their usage because copyright was
not addressed
3. Never demanding an apology from anyone for anything
Most of my words were spent defending myself against misconstruals.

Tom, Bill, don't you agree that it cannot possibly *really* hurt any of

of it...
The grand total time we spent arguing this out is much more than it is
really worth. Pity we did not give Marco the pictures, really... Bill's
right - we could've helped Pentax a little, which is a noble cause. And it
is 800x600 JPGs we're talking, not exhibition size silver prints...
Boris who doesn't get it...
Um, Boris, perhaps you came in late...
10 people (not necessarily all PDML subscribers) DID send pictures. I was
one of them. Once I knew the request was legitimate, I sent them in (as did
others).
The 10 of us WERE prepared to help Pentax. I even wrote back, after the
idea was canned, saying that I would be happy to participate if the idea
was revived.
