sheesh!
What's all the fuss about! It's just a forum!
No need to do background research and find out if it's legit... it's a forum! Post your thoughts like any other forum, you're not "taking a chance" by joining it!
Dont be so paranoid.

I think it was the direct e-mails that made everyone very cautious. Following links in e-mails from unknown sources is not very wise, even when they look to be genuine.
Don't forget the constant "phishing" that is going on all the time. It seems that users of pentaxUser are suitably cautious!

Just because you don't think they aren't out to get you, doesn't mean they are not out to get you! sheesh!

Actually I have several email addresses, I use the yahoo one for signing up to websites, forums etc and others for personal or professional correspondence. This makes it easier to check where leaks to spammers and phishers have occurred.
Acutally the "next big thing" may well be trawling http://tinyurl.com/yly823
Paranoia comes of being an "IT Guy" by day!

How 'bout this quote from Johnny Fever on WKRP:
"When everybody's out to get you, paranoia is just good thinking."

Well pentaxjapan just might have been wanting to wish us all Happy New Year....
Perhaps, Arthur, you are thinking that if you get up from lying down in front of the bulldozer, it will sneakily knock down your house.....

No, John, the bulldozer grew eyes and fangs! (see photo in previous post) and is growling and snarling.
Nothing to do with all those beers that Zaphod had me drink, of course!
Happy new year to all, and to all good night and good luck!
(Is that a mixed metaphor, sort of like a mixed drink?)

What do you think PentaxJapan means by "blackhole"? Is it the same as us British, By Gad, sir, working-class peasants mean when looking at a prize heifer from the wrong end?
Happy New Year, to each & everyone!
Harry.

I do not know if there is a different meaning of blackhole...What do you think PentaxJapan means by "blackhole"? Is it the same as us British, By Gad, sir, working-class peasants mean when looking at a prize heifer from the wrong end?

Quote from wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole
Quote:
A black hole is an object predicted by general relativity[1] with a gravitational field so powerful that even electromagnetic radiation cannot escape its pull.[2]
A black hole is defined to be a region of space-time where escape to the outside universe is impossible. The boundary of this region is a surface called the event horizon. This surface is not a physically tangible one, but merely a figurative concept of an imaginary boundary. It is defined as the point near the black hole where escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. Nothing can move from inside the event horizon to the outside, even briefly.
Theoretically, a black hole can be any size. Astrophysicists expect to find black holes with masses ranging between roughly the mass of the Sun ("stellar-mass" black holes) to many millions of times the mass of the Sun (supermassive black holes).
The existence of black holes in the universe is well supported by astronomical observation, particularly from studying X-ray emission from X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei. It has also been hypothesized that black holes radiate energy due to quantum mechanical effects known as Hawking radiation.

Myself am a member to many local and international photo forums (fm, photonet, dpreview, photomalaysia, nikonlist, clubsnap, pentaxuser...etc.).
www.PentaxWorld.com is not to compete with PentaxUser, I believe we can work together and share more Pentax information worldwide and have more people joining the Pentax family
I have to admit that Pentax K10D is the reason that I got interested in Pentax system...feature rich, good value for money and the most attractive DSLR in the market for my budget at the moment
