[snipped] I haven't participated because I have a web site with galleries on it, and the link is on every one of my emails. I could PAW a link once a week but - and I'm not trying to be a party-pooper here - and with all due respect - this is a Pentax discussion list, and there's a lot of list traffic already. I see no point in cluttering up peoples' in-boxes with my pics *that may not be shot using Pentax gear anyway*. That said, I've got no right to talk - I'm as guilty as sin when it comes to off-topic postings, so I'll just go flagellate myself. To PAW or not to PAW ? Doesn't really bother me one way or the other. I suppose on balance, taking into account that this list is a bit of an anomaly WRT email lists (in that it's *more* that just an email list - it's a community, a gathering, a bar - call it what you will), then I would say that anything that encourages photography must be a positive thing. It's all academic anyway - it's an unmoderated list and so there are no rules. Post PAWs or not, every day or just Friday. .02, Cheers, Cotty (off for some more flagellation) ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________ Free UK Mac Ads www.macads.co.uk
