I've forgotten exactly where it was, but I saw it mentioned on some web

I unsubscribed quite a while ago when I quit taking pictures. Slide processing

Not changing the format of the list but adding a pdml information page
with the stuff necessary to make sure it pops in searches. Add

I was never much
I came in about 2000 or so.
Used to comment and review pics a lot.
Life has changed drastically for me.
Some pleasant, some challenging.
Have had the pleasure of meeting several members over the years.
Always a joy.

I probably found out about the PDML from the Pentax official web site,
way back when the PDML was actually run by Pentax. But I'm wondering
how *anyone* would even learn of the
My opinion, which everyone hates, by the way, is that Facebook and Fora
are easy and require even less technical knowledge than using e-mail
lists. Despite being one of the most educated generations, millennials,
have no real interest in knowing how the actual nuts and bolts of

It has been so long I can't even remember how I found the PDML. I suspect I
stumbled upon it looking for Pentax information back in the day.

Lately I've noticed that the volume of PDML posts is way down. So,
being off this week and having some spare time, I did some research in
the archives.
In January 2015, there were 1234 posts from 52 members.
In January 2014, there were 2587 posts from 74 members.
In January 2013, there were 2667
I've noticed the same thing. I put it down to the spam filtering issues that
have been affecting users of some ISPs lately but maybe it's just that we're
starting to smell bad.

Also PDML has morphed into (mainly) a photo sharing list - nothing
wrong with that but
I think the problem is that email based forums have been replaced by web
