I wanted 001, at a pinch 007 would have done. But 6796....After all I've done for Pentax. Even the square root is a nothing number.
Well, they'll be sorry because I've been down to the crossroads and got my own number.

Yes God forbid terrorists got their hands on it, they could do some real damage with a Pentax User forum ID number.It looks like quite a few are more than willing to reveal their ID, whether or not it's a good idea I'm not sure.
Probably best to delete this thread, just to be on the safe side.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

I think it was in Manchester that someone did an experiment, stopping people and asking could they remember their bank card PIN? "I think so, it's 1234" or whatever number was quite a common response.
Interesting.

I think it's great someone adds a number to our profile and we talk about it for four pages ...

Well someone had to go the "I am not a number, I am a free man!" route, and we were not disappointed!

So if someone has my Pentax User forum ID they can get money from my bank account?

Yes, quite. We'll never know of course, but it is true that some people can be amazingly lax about security issues. How many tell the world on Facebook they are going away on holiday? We saw today what happened when an MPs daughter tried to arrange a "small soiree" for a few friends and hundreds of people turned up.fatspider wrote:

Still, our PU numbers may not be in quite the same league.
