I haven't been an active participant in the PUG for maybe a couple of years now, but I still enjoy it (passively), month after month, and part of what I personally like is not just the images themselves (and not just the thought that ~Pentax~ gear was used for them), but the ~congeniality~ that usually ensues after each month's PUG is posted. Speaking of "active" and "passive" - heck, the new "Open" category may actually drag me back out of the woodwork... Fred
