Point out to me somewhere in the thread where I said Joe was getting his insecurities stroked. >Well if you look back at the thread you have made more assumptions about >my motives than what i said. To me it seems like i am holding the mop. I have no clue as to your motives. I made a statement that everyone else seems to be able to take at face value, but which you apparently object to. Is that it? Or are you still pissed because I unsubscribed you? >If you are going to form an opinion about entire princeton based on your >perceived interaction with me, then I am glad I stopped to wonder about >what you were saying instead of accepting it per se.

I have no concern with your reading into it what wasn't there. >Again there seems to be an implicit notion here that the nikon/canon shooters >wouldn't have preferred it had their employers not issued them the >equipment. And again, you can read into it what you like, but that's not what I said. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
