Sometimes OT gets a little out of hand, but it dies down. You have introduced this PAW thing which mostly is good. I do think however that the one on the Leica list you modeled it after limits photos to those taken with Leica equipment. Also they seem to limit it to one photo a week person. You are trying to open this list to anything, anywhere, anytime, no limits. And then snarling at the guy who is paying for this list out of his own pocket.
Like I said, PAW seems like a great idea. But maybe we should keep it to Pentax equipment, and one shot per person per week on this list. Furthermore, there are all kinds of sites on the web where you can post photos to be commented on and no one has ever objected to folks mentioning here that they had a photo on one they would like comments about.
As for the gearheads here that you so disparage, this is a Pentax list not a general photography list despite the fact it is very open and interesting. You seem to want to highjack the list for your own purposes. We like you, Shel, but maybe you are going a bit too far here.

I didn't see anyone complaining about the GFM threads, which had nothing to do with photography, but, rather, was about setting up a social situation amongst users.
Hey now. Bitch all you want about the OT stuff, but lay off GFM. Some of us have worked very hard to turn the GFM NPW into a premier =photography= workshop. We have a good time, but we're very serious about the weekend.
