Yes, you're still not getting it. It seems that you actually thought I was complaining that Canon didn't send me a $600 flash for free. And when the messenger in Macbeth says "The Queen, my lord, is dead", do you jump out of your seat and shout "No she isn't, she's backstage having a drink, and will come out for the curtain call at the end"?

I can think of (at least) two explanations for that ... and both center on the fact that there are all kinds of people on this forum.

First option is that your text was so long that only first two or three sentences got actually read.

The second is that not knowing you there's a chance you actually might have been serious and addressing just the camera issue would have been polite.

That, and if you weren’t in the complaint threads that inspired this parody, it would be really difficult to tell the difference. Those threads were serious. And just as funny.

"Those threads were serious.  And just as funny."  You nailed it.

"Very funny, Scotty! Now beam me down my clothes."
"He's dead, Jim! You grab his tri-corder. I'll get his wallet."
