Just to prove I have no life, (at least not on a Sunday morning anyway), I read the entire thread at Pentax Forums. You guys should thank me, that's a precious hour I'll never get back.
1.) The original poster is from the Philippeans, (how he met a Pentax Canada ex-employee is questionable. 2.) The original poster then bolstered his case by making unsubstantiated claims, and then miss quoted public financial statements that were easily disproved. 3.) A real Pentax Canada, (or so I would surmise, at least without hiring a PI), chimed in to dispute and refute all claims of layoffs and the impending demise of Pentax Canada, (as well as Pentax Canada policy of giving out expensive equipment "free" to employees). 4.) The original poster then made some noises about his integrity, (hard to do since he was more or less shown himself to be fabricating information to prove his original position). 5.) Finally after a few other posters pointed out the illogical statements he had made, the original poster finally slunk off whimpering that he meant no harm and it was the "Pentax news and /rumors/ " and he was just passing on a rumor... All in all a perfect example of the wonders of the internet. Paul Stenquist wrote: > It's not news. It's from the Pentax forum.
