Hi gang,
Well, now that the initial brouhaha has subsided, it looks like the Paw has found a place for itself on the PDML.
I, for one, am really pleased to see such a variety of photographs and skill levels, from newbies that need some help to experienced photogs that are putting up some great pics, and the wide variety of gear that is being used.
Apart from the photos and gear, we are getting to know our fellow list members a little better through their pictures. Family snaps, pics of their neighborhoods, work, friends, pets, refrigerators, surgeries, etc., all provide a broader understanding of who is on the list. And it's so nice that some quiet people, those who have not posted messages at all, or only rarely, are also jumping in.
Speaking only for myself, this has been a very nice experience, and has fostered an even stronger sense of community here on the list. I hope others have gotten as much from the PAW as I have.
